I, and many I know, have used the CD labels for a long time and the only time any had trouble was when one of my friends applied a label without using the tool to center the label. I agree that they can be misapplied and cause imbalance, but only when you fail to follow instructions and/or do not use the tool that comes with the label kit. > ____________________________________________________________________ > TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> >
The biggest issue is proper storage of the media. Leaving the media in a hot environment such as a car is not conducive to longevity of either the media or the player. In high heat the label can detach and jam in the player or laminate the reflective layer of the media.
