Does pause damage CD's or Player?

[Ricardo]

just wondering; I use a lot of pausing on my CD player; sometimes it can stay paused for 30 minutes or more. Any thoughts or experience with damaging discs or CD/DVD player?

I've never paused for that long, 30 mins, why not stop the CDp and resume playback afterwards.

When I work from home I like listening, and I might get in a phone call and just click pause; call can go longer than expected, or I just forget about it. I'm just used to use the pause.

No damage.
