Has anyone done this and noticed any difference?
Not mutilating my cd’sHas anyone done this and noticed any difference?
Maybe, i remember this happening to me once on a cdr that I had burnt with some data. The surface was clean as a whistle but wouldn't read for some reason after a few uses.also has anyone experience situations wherein perfect CDs without even a single scratch, absolutely nothing damaged whatsoever, just stop working. They just dont read in any drive used, either PC, CD transport, dedicated cd players and also Sony DVD players (these can read even badly scratched disks)

Interesting….not that I want to try, I’ll take your word on it.The read error with a scratch-free CD-R is very common. It's due to heat.
A stamped CD is made using technology (and with materials) which are not very susceptible to heat. But CD-R, DVD-R, etc, need to be "burned" with a laser when being recorded, therefore they are made of different material, which can be modified with heat. If you keep a CD-R on the dashboard of a locked car during a hot day, the CD-R is almost guaranteed to give data errors. A stamped CD will not show any problems.
