The ejection hole and a straightened paper clip really is the easiest option. Try and picture what you are doing inside.

There is a small peg the end of which you are trying to push with the end of the paperclip probe’s end-one needs to fiddle about a few times…

I don't know if this helps, but a CD got stuck in Floss' car, and I followed some advice from t'Internet.  Simply place some double-sided sellotape on a palette knife, slide it into the player and over the CD, wriggle it round till it lifts off the plinth, then extract it.  It worked for me!

Maybe contact Charlbury Green Hub if you need further assistance. Kris

If you look closely there might be a tiny eject hole next to the slot (like the one you use to take a SIM out of an iPhone). On some devices you can stick a paperclip (or Apple tool?) into the eject hole and it will release the whole disc tray. https://www.techwalla.com/articles/stuck-dvds-tv-dvd

This has worked for me in the past on a TV/DVD player.

Can anyone help me remove a CD from its player, please?  I have a blu-ray player (which of course plays CDs); it's swallowed a CD that cost quite a lot of money (it's a Music Minus One keyboard concerto, good for having a fantasy life).  It made some horrible noises as of something got stuck, and then stopped.  

If the blu-ray player can be rescued, I'm happy to give it away a I bought a new one, but I don't want to damage the CD if at all possible.  All advice welcomed.
