This is the weirdest episode of Project Farm I've ever seen. As someone who lived at the beach when CDs started I can assure you that they are quite far from indestructible. Sand also has a knack for landing on, and scratching, you favorite song on a CD.
@cageliner
The shiny side of a CD is quite thick and protects the data fairly well, unless it's made nearly opaque by scratching. The label side is closer to the data, and you can damage a CD by writing on a label with a ball point pen. The plastic is so thin on the label side that pressing firmly with a pen will distort the aluminum pressing below.
@Mariazellerbahn
Some CD's will not play if you scratch the label as the recorded layer is the underside of the label (The Beatles "1" album is one such CD). Some CD's will play even if the label flakes off as the recorded layer is sandwiched in the plastic (Pink Floyd's "DSOTM" is one such CD.

Compelling results. I may have to stop storing my CDs in the honey 🍯 pot.

"Nobody was harmed in the making of this video" - Well, nobody but one disc... 🤪
@NLBassist
If the player opened and closed at a normal tempo it would be a 5 minute vid haha

As a young lad I was working in a library for a while, one job was to try and remove scratches from audio cd's using a machine with some polishing pads. Some could be fixed but some were just too far gone.

I think the "spreading jam on a CD" thing came from an old Kenny Everett sketch taking the mickey out of Tomorrow's World. He did that quite often. Could be wrong though.
@mikehiggins4079
With the amount of sugar in the jam & honey used, maybe the CD player went into a diabetic coma.

So Mrs Big Car went to the shops on a Saturday afternoon and left you to your own devices. I just spent the best part of 20 minutes laughing.
@Indiediscs
Well Paul Weller & Co, did put some jam on CDs ;))

Channeling your inner Techmoan? Great video!

Just like Club DJ's kept the Vinyl alive with the youngsters in its darkest days, it is the good old hatchback, that is going to keep the CD alive in what is now its darkest days. I am seeing more and more youngsters in my Record Store, buying CD's for the hatchback that Mum gifted them on her upgrade to a SUV.

Wow, that one 1983 video is still proven thanks to this one.
@randylahey1232
I once fixed a cd with the business end of a wooden spoon....worked perfect after no more skipping....true story
@nickjacobs1770
Quick fact. The original length of a C.D. was set at just over 60 mins by the head of Sony, who co developed with Phillips. This was the length of his favourite classical music piece, which was Beethovens' 9th symphony.

I definitely remember on UK TV someone putting a Pizza on one

Informative and quality content
@BilisNegra
Given that the payer did not even spin and the lens did not get dirty (basically only the spindle was soiled), it was very odd that it would not work anymore. Of course, we now know why.
