Finally, a good use for AOL disks : ) Try as I might, I can find no restriction on mailing user-written media. Blank media, no. But I believe user-written is okay as it’s “prerecorded”. https://pe.usps.com/Archive/PDF/DMMArchive20050106/173.pdf "Computer-readable media containing prerecorded information and guides or scripts prepared solely for use with such media."
