I could've sworn my plextor manual warned against using these things,
but after checking, I must've been hallucinating. The only things I
could find mechanically were possible problems with using caddies or car
audio-style slot-loaders. There was also some speculation that cut CDs
will degrade faster than non-cut CDs since the edges of the recording
media are often exposed to air. [1]
