Re: CD-R's

[Mark <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

I've had older CD players that just didn't seem to do well with most CDs
after a while.  Finally getting to a point of not playing any CDs or
CDROMS.  Could it be something about the laser getting weaker over time?  I
was once told that solid state lasers (LEDs) start developing tiny cracks,
due to imperfections, which eventually lead to the laser's death.  Could
this be the issue with some older CD players?  Weaker lasers not being able
to play more imperfect CDROMs?  Could CDROM backings sometimes be less
reflective than CD backings?  Just curious...
