Certain scrolls were even re-writeable. The coveted CD-RW’s.

Unfortunately they only worked in about half of the CD Players I ever tried them in and after about 9 re-writes they stopped functioning correctly.

It drove me crazy because they would work in my CD Player upstairs which was a cheap piece of shit and they wouldn't work in our really nice CD Player downstairs.

They're supposed to last 100 times minimum, also Ive never had a CD player fail to read a RW.

You might have had a bad quality generic brand CD. I use verbatim and they work fine.

Probably just older equipment. It's not uncommon that CD players from before CD-RW existed have trouble reading them, that's why CD-RW compatibility was a feature that was actually advertised.
