Pinky finger............. that is what the little hole is for!

Ah, Grasshopper, you've discovered my secret Sandal-Foot technique for speed loading! Index finger to pull the discs for playing, pinky to unload 'em!

Now, if you can snatch the pebbles from my hand..... :sqcool:
 
Open your hand master! as you see you have no pebbles in your hand!
 
I've never used a slot loaded cd player, but it would be ok as long as you could remove the cd without pulling it out and touching the bottom or top of the cd. Finger prints are a no no.
 
Front stuffers eject the disc just over half way... you can get your fingers around the center without having to touch the data area. :)
 
Just another vote for the Denon DN S1000s. Ive been using them for about 3 years, they are packed with features and are rock steady. The new 1200s look like a real nice upgrade. I also have a pair of old school Gemini (top loaders) that I carry as backup.

Is the dog in your avatar picture yours? That is one gorgeous Shepherd. When we move I am going to get one like that.
 
You folks make life so damn complicated :sqconfused:

Can you say MP3 or WAV...? ;) :)

that's what i was going to say.

the Con is that you have to use CD's.
