Another problem I encountered is that over time the CDs warped!

The CD is usually warm, just out of the burner and the STOMP
LABEL Cold...over time the CD outer rim is higher than the
inner spindle [outside bowed up a bit] and some data is inaccessible.

i had to put several [one at a time of course] between 2 other
botched CDs and place 3 clamps on the mess and put in the freezer
for 10-15 minutes and quickly slap in the drive and recover
the data...then it soon reverts back to the warped mode...

And as mentioned above, one local pal got one stuck in his drive
...and gummed it up...

I think the lift-top cd players are easier on the cds..as opposed
to the pop-out trays on 'Puters...

Just my 2 cents worth!
