Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like whomever owned it last took good care of it. The jewel case is a little broken at the bottom hinge and when it arrived in the mail the CD was not attached to the spindle in the middle. Still, it ripped nicely with EAC :)
As nifty cool as shaped discs are, you can’t load them into a front slot loader drive. Well, you really shouldn’t anyways, they’re most certainly not designed to load discs like that, it’ll almost certainly damage the drive and/or the disc. ☹️
On that note, it would be kinda neat to see a YouTube video where someone tries anyways, just to see what happens.
Aye, unfortunate for most people that play their CDs out of a desktop CD player. I mostly just rip my discs with an external drive anyway, and the drive uses a spindle.
