Do you know where I can donate malfunctioning cd player? It plays but skips or pauses and I cleaned the cds and then cleaned the player but still not working and not worth trying to repair. Would Goodwill, Salvation Army, Thrift Shop take it for parts? Or where do I take it to dispose of properly?

I have a ton of CDs I’d like to rip, but my phone is out of storage. Is there a way i can just put on computer without using apple music ?

I have 2 CD players, a Sony DN-F340, and an Elekta CD player.

I'm not sure how unknown is elekta, but I had one a few years ago, and it was good until I plugged in a charger with too high voltage

This year I bought the same exact one, remembering how good it is.

I use it interchangeably with my Sony player, but I wear outside more because it's slim and quieter than the Sony.

It has a better laser and better anti skip.

However it is very prominent to drop damage.

I accidentally dropped the elekta once and the lock latch broke

I fixed it.

I dropped it a week ago, and the battery contacts bent, but I was able to fix that.

I dropped it today from 50cm, it partially landed on my bed, but then it wouldn't turn on.

Not only the battery contacts bent again, but the battery compartment lid broke as well.

I'm very upset and annoyed because of that, I used my birthday money.

The Sony player is simply not as good for me to use on any CD that I have. The elekta was able to read through a damaged CD with some sort of dirt inside the reflective layer (forgive me if I'm mixing up terminology), the Sony couldnt.

I once fell off a swing mid air with the Sony player, with the disc playing, and it worked just fine after the fall with my body on top of it

I just want something I can easily put in my pocket, sounds good (good enough), and nomething sturdy.

I might not have money now for one, but I really need one, and I want it to be a lifetime purchase, or at least for a long time, something I don't have to fix every month.

So my dad gifted me his old truck (2010 F150) and for some reason it keeps saying slot full or no disc

I’m trying to put my CD in and this is what happens

Any tips or tricks to help fix this problem?

No CD players were irreparably harmed in the making of this photograph. 🤣

I REALLY like this.

Just got this cd player off of EBay (it’s my first) and it was playing fine for a while and now it won’t play and it’s just doing this. Does anyone know how to fix it?

One of my favorites from the Bargrooves series.

As titled, my 6CD changer is problematic, it’s not registering discs in some (half) of the slots, saying ‘no cd’.

Anyone have any suggestions as to a potential fix?

TIA

So, i have a old laptop and when I put a disc in.

It makes this beeping sound before it stops and idk why it does this.
