And they sound great. Well, you could ask for an easier way to keep the music spinning. It can get a little boring hopping up every 60 minutes to slip out one CD and slide in the next. So the Big Thing in CD players these days is the CD changer. You can even get CD changers that handle 100 or more discs.
CDs work with laser beams and a kind of code that's written in numbers.
Basically, if all the parts of a CD player are screwed together right, it will work just fine. Save even more money by sailing past the fancy gold-plated CDs at the record stores. The gold down under the plastic coating of the CD is supposed to reflect the laser beam better. Instead of going for the gold, reach for a clean dish towel the next time you play a CD that's been living under the sofa. Just wipe it off and it will play like new.
