They shouldn't, its a no contact medium. Poot handling though will ruin them.
cd's are the worst media format. fragile and exposed. imagine if floppy disks didnt have cases and you needed to gingerly hold the disc inside by its edges. that.
the mini-disc was superior but proprietary so it sank.
when ipods and other digital media players were invented I didnt buy a single cd ever again
I get that, Floptical Drives were interestinf, but mp3 players and iPod didn't have great sound with the lossy format, and digital conversion.
I'm the type that hears the difference between lossy and something like WAV format. Lossy ones always sound muddy to me. So CD and DVD audio appeal to some people. And If I'm going to take a DAC with me, then a CD one is pretty neat.
