First take it apart to find the "rubber band" or where it was. Remove the broken pieces of the old band (normally called a drive belt)and install a suitable new rubber band. Actually, sometimes this will work for a while. Replacement drive belts are made of a sturdier material than a rubber band and will last longer with less stretching. Your new rubber band will have to provide enought tension to move the drive wheels but not be too tight as to put undue pressure on those components. Replacement belts are cheap but much too varied for shops to stock very many. Some factory inventory of belts degenerate into rubber blobs or pieces while waiting for a buyer. LOL

Can a rubberband replace a CD player drive belt?

The rubber in a rubber band is poor quality and will disintegrate in a short time. However I did just that in a CD changer in my component stereo system. I wanted to make sure the player, which had been stored for a couple of years, still worked. The drive belt had become too loose to work the mechanism, so I found a rubber band the right size and put it on. It works fine, and since I cleaned the lens at the same time it now tracks fine, again, as well. I should emphasize that this is a temporary fix until I can locate a source for a quality drive belt, as the rubber band will not last long and the rubber in a rubber band gets sticky and could damage the player if I leave it for a long time. Best to get a good replacement belt if you can find a source for one.
