Repitition leads to madness, plus if you got off the island you would never want to hear those songs again as they would take you back to your time spent there, thus ruining them forever. The best thing would be not to have a disc and concentrate your time and resources on getting off the island. There is no way that listening to your favourite songs would help either practicaly or mentally. Ditch the disc

If being alone on a desert island for a long time isn't enough to make you want to kill yourself, listening to that CD over and over sure would. Nothing says sunshine and lolly-pops like Fade to Black and Comfortably Numb

Not to mention that if I were stuck on an island with someone who played "There's Only One Way To Rock", even once, I would kill them first, then myself...

[Motterman]

I've changed my mind. I want Shiny Happy People by REM on the CD as many times as it will fit.

Don't bother sending a rescue ship, it would by waaaay too late. :)
