That makes sense, since the outside is more likely to get damaged than the
inside. I just analogised with LPs.
BTW, have any of you seen a CD under a polarising microscope at 100x
magnigication? I have - as part of a physics assignment in SYBSc. It is
an excellent sight. The pits and lands are just a few microns apart, and
the difference in reflection causes interference in the polarised light to
give out great colours. It's not something that can be described.
