===Slot loading===
{{unreferenced section|date=January 2014}}
Slot loading is the preferred loading mechanism for car audio players. There is no tray that pops out, and a motor is used to assist disc insertion and removal. Some slot-loading mechanisms and changers can load and play back [[Mini CD]]s without the need of an adapter (such as the original [[Wii]] model's standard-sized disc slot being capable of accepting smaller [[GameCube Game Disc]]s) but they may work with limited functionality (a disc changer with a Mini CD inserted will refuse to operate until such disc is removed, for example).
[[Shaped Compact Disc|Non-circular CDs]] cannot be used on such loaders because they cannot handle non-circular discs. When inserted, such discs may become stuck and damage the mechanism. It is also used on some laptop computers, the [[PlayStation 3 models|original and slim]] [[PlayStation 3]], the Wii's original model and its Family Edition and most [[eighth generation of video game consoles|eighth-generation]] video game consoles (the [[Wii U]], [[PlayStation 4]] and [[Xbox One]]), as well as the [[ninth generation of video game consoles|ninth-generation]] [[PlayStation 5]] and [[Xbox Series X]].
