Slot, tray, or top load?


Any thoughts on the inherent advantages/disadvantages between CD loading mechanisms? Between slot, tray, and top loaded CD transports/players, which do you consider the best and why?

Like Soix said, ripping the music to files is the way forward, along with music files that are downloaded.
Asking a question about which type of CD player and getting answers favoring streaming is like being on a car forum and someone asks which brand of clutch plates work best for a certain situation and some of the answers say to get a car with an automatic.

All the best,

I've own/owned all of them.  I prefer the top load of my CEC.  Never liked the slot load.  I was always afraid that it would somehow scratch a CD, (it never did), like my car CD player was prone to.

I agree that you do need extra clearance for the top loaders.
