MODERATORS
I hope you used a special soft tip pen to label them.
No worries, I had many kind of CD-specific pens back then.
BECAUSE YOU SNIFFED THEM! ADMIT IT!
...we all did it.
Hey, who told you that?
DVDs didn't have that issue, fortunately.
In CDs, the recorded layer is directly under the label, in DVDs it's mid-way through the thickness of the disc so there's a layer of plastic between it and the label. A function of different wavelengths of light used to read them.
Bit rot due to degradation of the organic chemicals in the recording layer is still very much a concern though.
