In the "its a slot load drive" therefore "it will likely ruin my CD's" way. 
Sorry but thats a crock of s**t!

If you can ruin a CD in a slot load drive you aren't using it properly.

All the slot load drives I have ever seen you can load and eject the CD with 
one of your fingers in the hole, so no finger prints.  You can also grab it 
by the edges which also dont leave any fingerprints.

The servo arm that holds the CD is covered in rubber so doesn't scratch 
discs.  Not to mention, I've never seen one thats been jammed.  I've also 
never heard of a drive where you have to bend the disc to load, that sounds 
broken.

One thing that slot load drives dont let you do that tray drives do is let 
the draw jam the cd between it and the front panel if the CD isn't placed in 
the center correctly.  When this happens, you get bad scratches on the disc. 
This has only ever happened to me with older IDE type drives where software 
has closed the tray while I was loading a disc.  PITA!

Cheers Dre
