I've taken some apart. There's no possible way *those ones* can scratch a disc as there's no possible way for anything to touch the "playing surface". The loading mechanism only touches the edge of the disc. I actually prefer these, after initially greatly not preferring them...much stouter mechs than the flimsy trays in even some pricey players.
Yes, it is typically a slight pain to remove a stuck disc in one of those, but some have a pinhole you can poke through, and it does take a fair bit of force to push the mech so the disc comes out, there is a fair bit of gearing involved. I've never had a disc stick in one, but some people have.
I think some of the older car players is where the slot-loaders got their bad rep.
