    I would totally buy one if they are at a reasonable price.

    1. In order to play music it has to spin counterclockwise.


    2. The head will follow an arc instead (just like an old turntable) of a straight line (like all CD heads). Does this issue will cause trouble reading the CDs?

    @DeLarge: You'd need a really accurate stepper motor (or other mechanism) to guide that arm. Any tiny movement at the point of articulation would cause a significant movement at the end of the arm.


    Vibration on the arm would be a killer as well, but I guess there'd be some damping mechanism in the head.

    It will always be incomplete, unless CD's start coming in paper sleeves.

    @Gizmodoholic: I mean just the sleeve, no jewel case, similar to an LP.

    @Kaiser 'Conficker Is A Myth' Machead: It'll be incomplete until they attach a giant horn to the side of it.
