Sweet. I took apart the old stereo in my living room and found that the cd was held down by a balanced magnet that went over top. Then I could put 24 volts through the motor to spin it so fast it would shoot off and roll all the way across the school library, hit the wall, fly up, and then god knows where.

Yeah it reads the cd. I just gotta hold down the cd sometimes with my fingernails (so it can still spin) so it doesn't flutter |

Maybe you can make an automated fingernail to hold it down?
Just bend some wire or something...

That's what i used to do with my old cdrom. And about a topless cdrom, i'd say you put the cover back, and leave a small tab to reach to the middle so it can still use the magnet to hold down the cd. |

Yeah you'll need the magnet from the top of the drive.
If it looks like it won't come out, rip off the sticker on top. You will notice a small metal circle glued on. Take the lid and shove a screwdriver into where the magnet is. The metal will pop out but poof there's your magnet.

That is fucking cool. What if you expanded on that and made a "simple" arm to change the cd? In a CD burner? If I ever get my hands on a scrap cd burner, that sounds like a mighty fine microcontroller project if I do say so myself.

yeah... "arms" that pick up cds and move them and pick up another one and put it in the drive is beyond me. Well.... not beyond me... just beyond my budget and attention span. Good idea though.

Perhaps it would be possible to ghetto-rig a record player arm, replacing the pin dealie with a magnet?

The suction cup would need to...you know...not restrict the movement of the cd?
As for the magnetism, thats what I figured, too. However, I saw "magnet" and figured some foul ghettoesqueness was afoot.
