How do you treat your DVD's, CD's, and CD-ROMs?

I have to admit i'm VERY anal about how i treat my CDs and DVDs. I put them back in there cases when i'm done with them and I get PISSED when i do scratch one.

what about you guys?

Preaching to the choir. CD's are to be held by the edges; if I catch your fingers touching the read surface, your last words are gonna be, "That really was a Hattori Hanzo sword..."

ROFL, I saw the poll, voted, saw the results, and though "which anal git..." then I read your post.

Honestly I use very few CD's most of my music is all mp3 now, I treat my DVD's like crap but if anyone else treats my DVD's like crap ouhhhhh

I hold them by the edges, but the stack them on top of each other CAREFULLY! Doesn't really make sense! Luckily, scratches can be removed now.

There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

i still don't "get" how that works. how can you repair something that has been gauged away? i'm pretty careful with mine & ones i borrow.
but you know, i think they're pretty tough- my ex didn't keep his in cases at all.. just floated around his car... and always played fine *shrug*

i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce

Because its not the plastic bit it read from, its the metalic film behind it, if you can lap the scratch away (ie polish), then the film behind it is probably still fine.

Try scratching a CDR on the top and see if works even with the underside perfect.

Anyone correct me if I am mistaken, but this works because the data is actually burned on the top of the cd and then coated on the bottom. When you scratch a cd/dvd you are only scratching a sort of clear coating. Most gouges and scratches dont deflect the beam enough to cause any real damage, and the ones that do can be buffed out.

I could be wrong, but this is how it was explained to me.

I treat 'em like crap. Lost most of the cases. I'm a bad bad girl.

CD originals are copied and never see the light of day - the copies I treat like absolute crap and are considered disposable items.

DVD originals go from the box to the machine and back again.
