There are.

Tends to be more of a problem with CD-RW (since the surface 
characteristics differ more significantly from regular pressed CDs) but 
I've certainly seen players and CD-ROM drives refuse to read CD-Rs.

Nominally, though, both a pressed data CD and a CD-R with data recorded 
onto it function as "compact disk read-only memory".
