It sounds like the power switch might have broken. Crosley might help you find a service centre, but since you didn't purchase it direct from them, that's all they will tell you.

You would have to break into the cassette player's audio output section. By finding where the audio joins the main amp of the unit. You couldn't do it via the record input section as that uses a different pre-amp which would not be compatible with CD. Once you find the point where the cassette audio joins the pre-amp section of the main amp, you should be able to take a link, from a pair of phono sockets that you will have to mount somewhere on the unit. If you don't use the cassette anymore than you can disconnect it. If you do want to use the cassette then the best bet is to also install a switch that will switch between the two. You will not be able to have both cassette and CD wires linked to the same pre-amp input. As one will vastly reduce the volume of the other. Which is why you would have to install a switch between the two.

One advantage of living in a large metropolitan area is the variety of stuff to buy. You might try a radio, or TV repair store, and if they have no belt assortment, ask them who does. Another option is a car parts or a plumbing store, where there are "O" ring assortments. Perhaps a hardware store ( such as Lowe's, Home Depot, or Menard"s will have some belt or "O" ring assortments. God bless your efforts.

you can replace that with the same wattage rating and the same voltage rating.

I can't begin to answer your question directly because I am not familiar with your audio unit but I have burned a few CDs on the computer... Think of a vinyl LP with around 16 to 18 tracks. A CD of that album in high quality stereo audio will have no more or less and it will be, for practical purposes, full. Thats it, roughly one CD per LP. Pure audio files are big and take up lots of room. Using a computer you could squeeze more in but it would mean breaking the LPs into tracks and playing disc jockey so by mixing and matching running times all the available space would be filled. Most people who archive their tape and record collections do so on the computer using something like Goldwave to record the audio tracks and then convert them to Mp3 files using a suitable bitrate.. With the standard bitrate there is very little loss of quality and the amount of content that can fit on a CD is immense. I received an Mp3 CD from the Radio Lady and it contained 97 programmes from old radio - some were shorts and some were an hour but the majority were half-hour so it would be fair to say that Mp3 disc contained 50 times the content of an audio CD. Because they were low quality mono a lower bitrate could be used - on the other hand the highest bitrate produces a better than CD reproduction though the resulting files are as big as pure audio files. The downside is not every CD player will accept Mp3 discs. The one in my van does and I rarely need to select another disc. If I want to play Mp3 content at home I do so with the computer, sometimes with an FM transmitter so we can listen on the big speakers of the hi-fi or a portable radio. On the plus side the Mp3 files can be converted back to WAV and a CD burned at any time. I hope you find this informative.

get a butter knife and force the cd tray to open try not to force to hard that it breaks but enough that it might kick in the eject by itself
