If your CD player is playing CDs randomly, there may be a few reasons for this. One common cause is a dirty CD player lens. Dust, dirt, and other debris can accumulate on the lens and interfere with the player's ability to read CDs correctly. You can try cleaning the lens using a lens cleaning CD or a microfiber cloth. If the lens is dirty, you may be able to clean it using a lens cleaning solution or a mixture of water and vinegar.

Another reason for the CD player to play CDs randomly is a malfunctioning mechanism. The CD player's laser lens or sled motor may have failed, which is preventing the player from accessing CDs properly. In this case, you may need to have the CD player repaired or replaced.

Lastly, it could also be an issue with the CD itself. If the CD is scratched, dirty, or has a label that is blocking the laser lens, it may not play correctly. If this is the case, try cleaning the CD or replacing it with a different one.
