I don't know if this message was in response to me, particularly, but I just wanted to say that how a CD sits in a jewel box depends on how someone sticks it in there, except when you buy a new music CD and open it for the first time, where of course the recorded side is down and the label side is up.
I was hoping to add the textural distinction to my low vision method of holding the disc under a light and distinguishing the matte-finish side (or "label" side, in the case of a commercial CD) from the shiny side, which is the encoded side. But you're saying that not all CDs have a bit of a ridge on the encoding side? I guess that's not necessarily going to help me do it without my eyes, then. If I'm wrong, please explain. But it sounds as if you're saying a CD doesn't necessarily have that ridge, only sometimes. Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Richer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

If you hold the CD in your hand by the edge then with the index finger of the other hand you reach to the center of the disk and drag your finger slowly towards the edge about an inch an a half or so from the center you may or may not encounter a smooth or sharp ridge. If you feel this ridge then this is the business side. Chirp|Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Chirping Bat .Com ! New DEC-TALK USB: $650.00, www.chirpingbat.com/dectalkusb.shtml !
