Getting a CD into a CD Player

For some, the strenuous task of removing a CD from its protective case and placing it into a Compact Disk player is a simple deal, but for others it is a chore that some folk will pay to have completed for them. Often times those who are unlearned struggle with the task as they find themselves plagued by broken disks, injured hands, or at the very least, a noticeable bruise on the face.

If you aren’t one of the lucky few, today we have a treat for you: the simple three (and a half!) step plan to getting that darned CD into a Compact Disk player. You will be learning how to keep you and your precious CD safe, without the looming danger that your past experiences have left you with.

Step 1: CD Case Packaging

One of the most significant problems posed by the new CD cases is the sealed packaging that keeps contents safe not only from the dangers of your local supermarket or music store, but also from you. If it is any consolation, you are not the only person who has issues removing the packaging.

Some use their exceedingly long finger nails, others attack the plastic with scissors, and some just pass it on to their friends. In any case, there isn’t much you can do about this, and it may take multiple trial runs and some unsightly injuries before you get it down to a science.

Your best bet will be to take a sharp object and cut along a crease the edge of the case. Even better is if the packaging has a pull-string or the like that simplifies the removal. If this step has already occurred or has been done for you, you can move on to the next step of the CD removal.

Thanks, I really needed this instructable. I shall go to sleep today peacefully, secure in the knowledge that at long last I have now acquired the knowledge of scientifically and accurately placing a compact disk into its player. I am now eagerly waiting for the second part: How To Place a DVD disk into its Player.

I personally think its funny and here's my judgement... 1 star for thinking of it. 1 star for taking the time to type it, and 2 stars because I enjoy the humor of it. 1 +1+ 2= 4 stars

yes this is a tad pointless the only thing that keeps me from raging is the fact that there are in fact a lot of people that do not know how to properly transport Cd's DVDs blue rays etc etc. putting their smudgy greasy fingers on the beautiful precious shiny data side of the disk scratching it or otherwise ruining it therefore giving one a giant pile of music, movies and games you need to re purchase so sir i agree completely with this Instructable.
