Wish I could help you @fin04.
CD’s are pretty much out of my life now that small compact plug-n-play hard drives, thumb drives, music players are available and adapters for home stereo and car, etc... all are supported widely now-a-days. I transferred all my regular CD’s and DEAD CD’s to digital a long time ago (quite a project)
I take my CD’s and convert to FLAC, WAV, mP3, etc... pretty easy, plays seamless and no big bulky CD’s or cases. IMHO only :-)
My LIVE dead is 14 terabytes of FLACS & video... with many backups!!!
