Yes, on several occasions I have provided an answer that has worked for
me. Call me a dumbass, but I've had several occasions to test it.
Get a pair of business cards, or cut a 3x5 index card in half. Hit the
eject button, and wait until the mechanism has cycled and indicated
failure. Push open the little door that covers the CD slot. You can now
see the edge of the stuck CD. CAREFULLY work one of the cards in above
the edge of the disk, at the left-to-right center of the slot. Don't
force anything - with some gentle persuasion and some wiggling, it
should slide in smoothly. At some point the disc may suddenly pop out
into your hand - if it doesn't, slip the other card under the edge of
the disc.
And Big Shoe is right - homemade labels lift and wrinkle, causing discs
to become jammed. Use a Sharpie to label the CD instead.
