In which I am made of magnets.

Bought a few cds at the B&N at the mall, and thought we'd spend some time listening to them. Alas, it seemed that was not to be:

1: PC is playing cds as if the cd is scratched, or as if the disk drive is in dire need of cleaning. Or as if the PC is just not acting right. I'm thinking it's the second one--that it just needs cleaning.

2: Cheapo cd radio thing that's been on our bookshelf for years reads the cd, but refuses to play it. The thing is old and I've had problems playing cds on it before, so maybe it's time we sprung for another one.

3: Big CD/radio thing in the bedroom is not reading cds, when it has in the past. I think that one just needs some cleaning as well, as we rarely play cds on it.



I tell you, this is further proof that I am made of magnets. Pretty much any radio or PC I use doesn't just stop working; it stops working in a strange way, usually while I'm trying to use it for entertainment purposes, which frustrates me to no end. *sratches head*

If it makes you feel any better, I think my DVD player has the same problem. It has some problem, at least, and I hope that's it!

I get that problem with CD's playing like they're scratched when I switch CD's from one player to another.

My new car is doing that on CD's that played fine in my old car. My old car did it on CD's that play fine in the new.

Totally, totally strange.
