Can you believe it? My cd player quit on me. I put a copied cd in it, and the cd player literally said "no." It didn't vocalized it, the LCD screen where the digits appear for the time, spelled out "no." At first I thought, all of a sudden my cd player became a snob, and it only accepted "real" cd (not the burned ones). I tried a real cd, and it still said no. In a way I was surprised and not.
I was taken aback by this stubborn behavior because a.) I didn't do anything to provoke it to quit, b.)this is my third year with it, and it hasn't acted out before.
Sooner or later, I knew deep down inside that it would break down (I was in denial). I bought this cd player in CVS (I think) for $20. Originally it acted as my alarm clock. The cd player feature was a bonus. I didn't really expect much from it, because it was pretty cheap. I was impressed when I found out that it can play "burned" cds. Even some of the name brands out there can't even do that.
My cd player finally quit. In spite of this, it still functions as a clock, an alarm, and radio. I can always set my alarm to the buzz or country music on the radio. Maybe it's just tired, end of the year stress (coincidentally before it refused to play my cd, I had listened to music in high volume).
It was just audacious that this machine flashed "no" when I pressed the "play" button.
