CD Labels..

[MSimpson]

I put custom labels on my game back-ups and was wondering if people ever have problems with games reading because of these labels. I sometimes get the dirty disc error and I don't understand why, because the games arn't scratched.. I figure the labels for some reason..

If this is the case can someone suggest a good label or should I just stop doing this?

Nope custom CD lables are fine, just as long as they arn't all wonky and half off the disk or like realy realy think you will be fine, word of advise don't glue them on with a glu stick - it just dosn't work lol : p

I assume one of two things..

On Madden 07 it gives me the disc is unreadable error only when trying to load a game.. That's it.. so I guess the disc is just scratched in that exact area that it reads..

Or

Laser reader in DVD drive is going bad..

Here's a good one:

At the ripe age of 13? 14? I managed to put a sticky note on a cd I had burned to remind me to label it later. Unfortunately, I put the cd in the drive without removing the sticky note, and voila! One big mess of light adhesive and shredded paper inside my drive.

Since then, I've always used a permanent marker and nothing else. Talk about negative reinforcement.

I never put labels on as the adhesive does eventually does affect the dvd and you`ll get errors....I use to do this many years ago and I was getting errors.I found out that it was these studid adhesive labels that was causing errors...Just stick to your cd pen or invest in a printer that prints on dvd.....

For now on I won't be usin them.. I did another copy of my Madden and it works flawlessly.. Still can't determine if it the label or scratches on the other disc but we will see how this works..
