maybe i phrased it wrong it does play music cds but what sony did when they shipped the system is they skimped on a quality laser and this laser was no intended to be used with music cds (it overworked the laser) leading to premature failure, right? a laser reading a music cd and a game cd works differently because some of the game is loaded in the temp. memory of the unit so it reads and stores intermittently whereas for music it is constantly reading ,
anyways the laser/sled assembly was not as good a quality as should have been put in (cost reduction) so it wore it out, i am sure if you look hard enough on the web (if the subject interest you) you will find articles regarding this
i am not disagreeing with you and i hope that i didn't come off as a smart ass in my previous post, but i as well use my old playstation for music now (well now that i have a ps2)
