Will I ever be able to get that cd out?

I have had a cd stuck in my stereo player in the car for about a year. I read here on Q&A about how to get it out by using a very thin spatula with double-sided tape..slide it in, hopefully the tape would stick to the cd..then I could remove the cd from the unit. That didn't work. Instead I somehow managed to trip the mechanism whereby the cd kept noisily spinning in there. I couldn't shut it off...the radio either. Even when I turned the ignition off..the cd player was spinning. I took the car to my mechanic who tried..no luck. He temporarily disconnected the battery, which stopped the player from spinning. Had I not taken the car in, the cd player would have eventually drained my batter. When the mechanic reconnected the battery...everything was fine, except he couldn't get that blasted cd out either. I think I somehow managed to push the cd down further into the player when I originally tried to get it out with the spatula. I could see the cd. Perhaps I should have tried to grab it with tweezers??? I'm wondering though, will I ever be able to get that cd out of there?? Any suggestions? By the way..that cd had a label on it, (BIG mistake), so I'm also wondering if that label may have come off, making the cd further sticking to the inside of the player. Please help!!
