trane123 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) J The number of CDs that I can't play on my cars CD player seems to be growing. It's not that they won't play -- they do -- it's just that I can't get them out of the damn player. I started noticing this with the new "SHM" (Super High Material, I think) CDs started coming out of Japan. Then some of the European made CDs started exhibiting the same behavior. Now, the last couple of Mosaic sets I've bought have the same problem (including the new Ahmad Jamal set. Strangely enough, I had no problem with CD number 6, but CD number 7 was so difficult to get out I had to resort to tweezers -- ouch). I don't think its just the player in my particular car. I recently went from a 2006 Ford to a 2010 Mazda with similar results. Was just wondering if anyone else out there has encountered this situation.

Van Basten II Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Maybe it's the cars that are being made thinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Do you notice this consistently with the same CDs? I feel like I've noticed some differences in thickness before but I thought car CD players were notorious for eating CDs, especially the more they are used.

It seems the CDs that work once always work and the ones that have the problem always have the eject problem. I haven't had this problem until the last year or so. Weird...especially on two different makes and models of cars. Edited August 10, 2010 by trane123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 CDs? Oh, wait; I remember those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 The makers of CDs are just copying the trend currently popular with vinyl. You must have the 200g audiophile pressings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall15 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I would never put an original CD in any car CD player. I make a CDR and then if a problem occurs I have only lost a copy and have not damaged or lost the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
