Talk:Compact Disc player
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
True or false: this article can re-direct to Comact disc. 66.32.132.150 00:30, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
- It can, but lets just keep this as per the mentioned criticism about the CD players. (unsigned comment from anon)
- To Comact disc?! Is this a joke? Or are there countries which have technology of this name? Rintrah 14:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Why is there no history of the CD Player? Who invented it? When? First commercial model...etc
- The history is on the Compact Disc article.--Lenilucho 18:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CD Life span
"If proper care is taken, a CD can be played indefinitely without any loss in audio quality." Aside from the lack of citation (as far as I can tell), I once heard that CDs have a shelf life of around 50 years... might be worth investigating
In fact, this entire page seems to be lacking citations Hydroksyde 23:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- This is true (not necesarily 50 years, the time depends on the brand of the media). But the article refers to the fact that a CD does not worn like an LP or a cassette, because of the lack of friction of the system itself.--Lenilucho 01:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

- Perhaps, but that revert was unnecessary, as I didn't change any information, just added the citation/unreferenced templates. Just even if something is true, it *still* needs references, see Wikipedia:Verifiability. Hydroksyde 06:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

- Ok, I added information. Do you think the "citation needed" is still necesary?--Lenilucho 03:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

- You've missed my point entirely. You can't just write things down off the top of your head. You need to find any information you add in a reputable publication (eg a book, or a reputable newspaper), that can be verified, and reference this information appropriately.

- Ok, I get it. I have no idea where to find such information. May be on Sony/Philips/TDK or similar websites? --Lenilucho 06:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Only Critisms?
CDs aren't all bad, otherwise they would have been phased away a long time ago. This article only discusses the critisms of the CD and CD players. Today, there are more modern players/burners which are now more capable and less cubersome in the past. This article resembles more like a stub than an article. This article should have some advantages included. This article should also have a complete explanation of how it works and how it reads CDs.
[edit] Copyedits and article tone
I have made several copyedits, which hopefully make the article more readable. I removed much of language of the kind (exaggerated here for effect): CD players are cool, but they, like, suck compared to other technologies, like DVDs which have scrolling interface user-friendly text.
In future, please restrict the content to objective descriptions, and refrain from reviewing the technology.
If the copy-edit tag remains, I might return later to tamper with the rest of the article. Rintrah 12:50, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- I've gone over and done the copyediting I can do, but the interface section still needs work. It doesn't actually describe the interface of a CD player, but rather compares it to the interface of an MP3 player. I also removed the following:
"For the home consumer, some options exist: Sony XL1 (or XL1B2) - a Windows Media Center based disc changer, for local (MCE) use only PowerFile For larger enterprise solutions, the following are available: PowerFile (A3 and PSA models) JVC Pionneer (DRM series) PoINT Software (www.pointsoft.de) - develops software to manage CD/DVD changers in corporate environments (supplements enterprise features)" Wikipedia is not a product quide.
I will remove the copyedit tags and add a expand tag to the interface section if I can't find any info to add to it. Natalie 17:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] user interface
Removed the following from "User Interface": "Compared to digital audio players, which have screens, CD players are most often less user-friendly, because tracks are numbered rather than displayed with text. However, CD-Text has overcome these aforementioned limitations; so text is displayed with the CD player software available on computers and modern CD players. Tray numbers on CD changers are often confusing for those who want to select individual tracks. MP3 players, which list tracks in alphabetical order, however, are easier to use."
Uncited POV. If readding, please provide citations. Natalie 19:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] iPod
Article says "the first generation iPod can hold an equivalent of 5 discs with a 128k sample rate for each song". But the first generation iPods are 5GB, which is more than 5 CDs or 5*700MB=3500MB, and that's lossless, not 128kbps. At 128kbps it should store >60 CDs. Shawnc 04:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
