    Update: Now one of the CD players refuses to read _ANY_ type of CD. Looks
    like I'm screwed.. When I try to take it back, they're going to blame it on
    me and I'm going to have to pay for it to be repaired or something. What a
    piece of shit. This seriously changes my opinion of Tascam.
