I cannot for my life get my CD out of the Alpine stereo... I press the button, the face tilts and tries to ejects, but it won't come out...

it did this once before, my boyfriend tries and it came out after 2 tries, and was fine for the next cd, but now it won't come out, and its driving me insane.

Is there some quirk to this I'm not getting, or should I take it to an audio place? anyone else have this problem?

 

Face tilts? Aftermarket, eh? Take it to an audio place.

 

Sometimes things just break and there is nothing you can do except take it out and have it repaired, or take it to a repair shop. Having said that, you can try to push the CD in just a bit to try to unjam it. Does the CD happen to be a home made one with a label? If so the CD might be just thick enough so that it cant come out on its own. If that is the case then a pair of needle nose pliers with some masking tape on the end and a gentle touch might be what you need to coax it out of the player.
