Problems with playing CDs
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | I have 2 CDs that just won’t play. Coming up with disc error. They are in new condition but have had for a number of years and I’m sure I’ve managed to play them in the past. They are both by the same artist. All my other cds are fine. These 2 do have a ring of colour round the centre or the outside of the silver side. Wondering if this is causing the error? buzzi1 - 2021-07-04 20:36:00 |
| 2 | What are you trying to play them in? tygertung - 2021-07-04 22:31:00 |
| 3 | They're probably dead. CDs do fail. Rip them all and store on a HDD instead. lythande1 - 2021-07-05 08:33:00 |
| 4 | My partner use to spray flyspray on them and wipe off. Apparently the spray falls into the wee scratches. It worked 50% of the time so that's better than nothing. And I'm not kidding :) lsakb - 2021-07-06 21:52:00 |
| 5 | I'll suggest these two disks use some uncommon format that won't play in the player you're trying today but did play on some other machine. And the example I'll give is CDG Karaoke disks. Look at the disks for any clues to the format, and then look at the player for a matching logo. What are the disk titles? gyrogearloose - 2021-07-07 07:37:00 |
| 6 | I've found discoloured disc are often ones that have been left in direct sunlight. No scratchs, but destroyed all the same. bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-07-07 11:15:00 |
| 7 | They are 2 1990s cds by Enya which possibly might have some security thing on them. They have not been in the sun and no scratches. They have a coloured ring around them on the silver side. I have another of hers without coloured rings that plays fine. I’m playing them on a large portable Philips player which plays all other cds just fine. It says GEMA/BIEM Unauthorised Copying Prohibited on them. Edited by buzzi1 at 2:20 pm, Sat 10 Jul buzzi1 - 2021-07-10 14:06:00 |
| 8 | Then I suggest putting them in your computer and trying to duplicate or rip them to MP3 (I use Exact Audio Copy) and see how successful that is. gyrogearloose - 2021-07-10 17:21:00 |
| 9 | There is plenty of early Enya at kickass torrents. muppet_slayer - 2021-07-10 18:01:00 |
