RE: It ATE my CD!
Yes, many players have a needle size hole, prolly behind the bezel, that pops the cd out without power.
If the mechanism is truly grimey where the parts won't move even with pin or paper clip inserted, try tapping the player continuously to help the springs push the cd out.

mine used to do the same thing this is how i got them out befor just getting a new head unit; get a blank cd, press the eject, while while putting pressure on the slot as if you were trying to put the new cd in (i say blank so you dont mess up a good cd) and the first cd should pop out

Guys, it turns out that the CD was a "book on CD" from the public library. They TAPED an anti-theft strip to the top of the CD. This gumbed-up the works, and kept it from ejecting. I used a small diameter piece of wire with a hook bent into the end. Slipped it under the CD until the hook fell into the hole in the center of the CD---pulled it out. The CD player still works great! Thanks for the help and all your answers back, they are greatly appreciated!
