Because I'd have it on silent all the time. If a high speed device was
needed to read a faulty CD (that presumably can't be replaced) I'd use
my PC to rip it then copy. But then I've never bought a commercial CD
that won't work in an ordinary CD player anyway.

I've one or two discs that none of my audio players will read, but a CDROM
drive will. Also one or two that reverse this quirk. Rare, but happens.
I've also some discs that work in one player but not another. Bit more
common, but again, rare. Difficult to know why in the absence of some
suitable test equipment.
