When you look at a cd, the colored part is just there to add size to it. The silvery stuff in the middle is what the CD players read.

What is album art and how does it work?

If you are using any of the Windows based Media Players, then Album Art is part of the song/album information that is embedded into the digital information of the song/album. The album Art is a recreation of the Album/CD cover for the album. This information, along with Artist, Title, Track time and other info is stored on newer (1999 +) CDs ad part of the CD. Other information can be/will be obtained from the internet when you are running Windows Media Player and connected to the internet. Hope this helps you understand.

When was a CD palyer invented?

CD players were invented about 30 years ago. In the late 1970's, Sony collaborated with Philips Electronics and Polygram to design a new type of music player. The first CD player was in production for two to three years before it was available to the public. CDP-101 was the first commercialized CD player on the market.


How do you download Kodak digital camera software?

The camera should come with a CD and cables to connect to the computer. Read the handbook. You will need to put the CD in the computer and it should automatically download the software. If you don't have the CD go on line and download from Kodak.


Why would your CD player register e20 then spit the CD out?

Do you have the owner's manual for your vehicle (if it is a factory CD player) or the manual for the CD player itself? If so it should contain a chart listing the various error codes and what they indicate. Without a manual to assist, I would assume that either the CD is scratched or in some other way unreadable (sometimes CDs made by a computer's CD burner cannot be read), or the reading laser in the CD player is covered by dust particles and must be cleaned. If you take the vehicle to a car audio shop they should be able to clean it for you. If that doesn't help, they will be able to further diagnose the problem. It happened to my CD player with ALL my CD's. I tried a procedure and it began working again for about 3 months. I wrapped a baby wipe with alcohol around a CD. Then I inserted it gently into the slot, and as the player pulled it, I gently moved it in and out, careful to hang on to the baby wipe so it would not get caught or jammed in the slot. After moving it in and out for about five times, I pulled it out. I then inserted a store-bought CD cleaner disk and pushed the button to track 2 as the instructions said. I let the CD cleaner do it's thing, and when it was done, I waited a bout 30 seconds and inserted a regular CD, and it worked fine. Good luck!

Can a CD player can be converted to DVD player. Or else what best we can do with CD player?

Although CD players and DVD players share the same disc transport system, the laser and virtually all the electronics are different. A CD player cannot read DVDs although most DVD players will read and play CDs without a problem. So, a CD player will always be a CD player and never a DVD player. The best thing to use a CD player for is to play CDs or, if it happens to be able to read and display images from a CD, then perhaps you can use it for picture viewing.
