Is there anything wrong with slot CD/DVD drives?

[AlphaIVT]

No? Well, I've got one, my sis got a "mini" CD from Cal Poly (anyone else got these too?)cut into a rectangle. Now I wonder how can I use the contents in it? Anyways, I am using my CDR to read the CD.

Nothing wrong with the slot loaders, though I don't know much about those mini CDs.

I love my slot loading Pioneer DVD drive.

Yeah, I got the 104s Pioneer slot DVD too

how many ppl now use those mini cdrs? almost none. And the square/rectangle ones, if not PERFECT, will not spin right in the cdrom. Already tried it, got jammed in my cdrom.

The 3" cd's are cool, but expensive and not practical to use.


Tho, one downfall i see now is pioneer doesn't have a drive that is slot scsi and cheap like before AND is compatible w/ the cloneCD features.

I buy CD singles. They of course cannot be used in my Pioneer 104S, when they come on the mini CDs. I have several.

Slot loaders are louder too.

You have to buy adators for the cd singles. They're the size of a regular CD, with a hole the size of the cd single, with some little plastic sticking out that holds it into place. They're made for car cd slot players, so it should work with the computer slot drives. but I use them with my cd caddies. Don't know how it'll fit the card size cds though.
