My CD changer (5 disks) appears to have gone south and I want to replace it. I want one with simple controls (I never used most of the junk, e.g random tracks) on the old ones and, most important, readable controls, no 5 point gray on black. I liked the changer, but it was almost impossible to get the last disk out since it always autoplayed and you couldn’t get it to turn.

What’s a CD player?

I like the Rotel stuff, not sure if available where you are but this stuff is really simple with great sound. Actually I have loved their audio stuff for years, no frills audio.
