To play CDs, can you just drop CDs in and close the lid or do they need to be "snapped" in? I am looking to buy as a gift for my elderly mother.

My experience is that you DO need to snap the CD in place. Just laying it in there and closing the door doesn't force it to seat properly. Teach her to do it by touch, and also to remove it by pushing down on the center hub.

Hi - the CD does actually need to be centered and snapped in to play. It's easy to do but it's definitely not a drop-in and close type of system. Also, it doesn't read all CDs well, not even the few brand new ones that I own, so it can cause some frustration. As someone who works with the elderly, I would go with a simpler model.

Shelton, are you sure about that? I read through the manual, and set the play mode to "all CD's" and Shuffle on, but not matter what combination I try, it appears to only shuffle 1 cd at a time. In other words, it will play all cds, and shuffle each cd, but it will not shuffle all songs on all cd's in such a way that one song from one cd will be followed by another song on another cd.

I have never used this one to play CDs. However I owned the previous version of this player that played them without a problem. You should have no problem playing CDs with this unit. You will have to check the manual but I believe this will also play MP3 files on data CDs as well as regular audio CDS.

It's not a CD player, so no. The CDs you can play will depend on the CD player you use.

Put the radio on tape (slide buttons are on the left side) Press the eject button, place tape in compartment and then press the play button near the cd opening. You may be putting the tape in the wrong way. Just turn it around. Good Luck!!!

This unit continues to play CD's and DVD's when you shut the lid down. You need to manually TURN OFF the power after closing the lid, otherwise the battery gets run down if you unplug it.

You should have no problem playing standard CDs. CD-Rs or bootleg discs may not play. Contact Sony for more information.

Yes. CD/DVD insert sideways instead of flat. I find it is necessary to keep disc in place when closing door. Also after leaving DVD's in PC they begin to slow down and stop. It might be wise to remove discs when completed. I think it is the heat from PC. I played same DVD in separate DVD and had no problem.

Only the paper slot works. The CD slot is safe, since its too small for any fingers adult, child or baby to get into it.

yes, on the right side of the player controls there is a silver button that says open/close. When you push that the cd compartment comes out so you can insert it.

No. You can just play music from either the thumb drive or cd but there is no interaction between the two.

Yes, it does play CDs, you just have to press the release button and the port for the CDs is at sight. It is really nice actually, the only complain, is that the clock can't be displayed while in stand by, or any other situation except when you set it.

Yes! The CD will still play. What Koomus CD-Air does is spread the distance/width of the security slot of the player securing the CD. But, the CD will still play.

Yep.Why would you want to? Expensive key ring. I use mine for storage, period. It's full of music and stored away. Much better and cheaper, overall, than CDs/DVDs. More dependable.

Good question. I had never thought of doing that. So I took this plastic sleeve and one of the booklets that came with one of my CD'S and it fits right inside. With plenty of room. That's a good idea. I even learned something. Hope this helps you.

I don't use CDs anymore, so hadn't tried. But FOR YOU, I just went out and put one in. It played without the mount in place, I then put the mount in place, and it still played. So the answer seems to be YES it will play with the mount in place. However, you will have to take out the mount to take out the CD or put another one in.
