>centrifugal force can destroy the CD. Works for mainframe disks too. Original technology was spray glue onto aluminum, then spray fine particles of magnetizable substance (e.g., iron oxide, aka "rust") onto the glue. Glue force has to be stronger than centrifugal, else the bytes creep towards outer edge of platter. That was how they were made long ago, not sure about now.
