From the article:

Quote

Jones says that he has yet to damage any of his discs or players with his pioneering work, but warns that the technique does crash CD players on computers because the software cannot cope.

Maybe this will be the next form of copy protection...

I just saw the same story, but originating from Australia. That version stated that he always was changing his CD's out with 'beer soaked fingers' and noticed a fungus growing after a few days of laying around (presumable the cd's, not him?).

Oops, sorry

How much of a scientific background do you need to figure out that if fungus grows on a CD that it might affect the sound?

It's amazing what passes for "news" these days.
