Fun question: CD's do play on a record player

[Wayfall]

Hi

Bit of a fun question here

I was just talking to a colleague about record players and they did not believe me when I told him you can play music from a CD on a record player. It may scratch the disc a lot but it works.

I remember experimenting with it as a kid on the old NOW music collection discs when my dad introduced me to the record player (he scolded me so bad when he found the scratched CD's) which was on top of this old all one 90's music player that could play cassettes, CD's and vinyl.

My friend thinks i'm completely lying about this and will not believe it even when I showed him a few YouTube videos. I even asked a few of the older people that I work with and all of them thought I was joking.

Can you lot help me proof it.

I'm being serious here, I have played a CD using a record player.

Are you sure it wasn't a compact record or you just heard the CD being scratched?
The reason it's impossible is because of the differences in how a record player and CD work.
With a CD, lasers read the thing, no physical contact is made. If this was ho a CD worked, I'd run my nail across it whenever I wanted to listen to music.
A record player uses a needle that is in grooves on the record to read it and make music.

I'm sure it was an actual CD. It played the NOW 63 or whatever it was called back in the day.

I remember just being completely amazing and wondering how it was even possible as even then I new CD's were read by lasers of some sort.

I guess you'll have to get a record player and prove us wrong then. I know that sounds rude, but I can't think of another way to type it.

Ye guess I will have to, I'll find one somewhere.
