CD-RW and DVD-+RW

[Greg12]

Is it just me or does air scratch these things

I keep them in their jewel cases and scratches magically appear.

[Sefy]

I Don't know if it's by magic, but I think the drive themselfs somehow scratch it, lets not forget we do put the CDR's on a surface of some kind in the CD/DVD drives and spin them in high velocities.

Personaly I think there should not be any touching surface. but some sort of a grabbing middle section, like in portable Audio CD Players, and that should help avoid scratches.

Try some DVD Cases. You can be sure that no part of the your DVD/CD media every touches anything with DVD Cases. Only drawback, they are bulkier than regular jewel cases.
