Hmmm, could prob make one of those.Replace the stylus on the arm with something like felt, have the laser burner on the underside, make the cd slightly recessed into the wooden base if darkness is an issue, and make sure noone touches it while you're burning.
Doable.

If it was a grammaphone, you could hook a speaker up to it so that it wouldplay a sound when it finished burning.
Going to be a size issue, would have to build either from scratch, or, I believe I recall seeing one of those mini plastic tomy toy style portable record players which were much smaller, and could possibly be used in a pinch.

hehe....I figured this would be smaller than that. The CD here would be life size. Some nice ickle cabinet work would be required.

Just notced the handle.Right, ingrediants needed.
One usb portable cd writer.
One wind up music box
One cheapy record player (the smaller the better) to nab the stylus from
One Clockwork radio (This way, i'm thinking that instead of having a power cable, you could run it off clockwork ^_^ )
Miscellaneous stuff it will turn out you will need as you get there.
Won't be doing it any time soon, but come the summer hols, I think I might give this a go.

Well, if you come accross a cheap usb cd writeranywhere, preferably similar to a portable cd player, ie not tray loading but top loading, let me know.

MiiindpisssI don't have enough engineering skill to put the laser in the stylus arm and have it record that way, but the method above is achievable.

I was thinkingeither to make the top of the cd flush with the top of the wooden turntable, or perhaps have a rubber sealant ring glued to the outside of the turntableand have the cd fit snuggly in that. Anyone know how much laser light would pass through to the other side of the cd?
