Not my experience. I apply Neato labels to all the CDs I produce for
customers, and they play very well. The effects you describe may be
due to marginal RF level (raw digital recording level, pit/land
contrast), an increasing problem with CDRs since the dyes have
changed to accomodate higher-speed burning. Today's CDRs are less
playable, folks.
