[78-L] Beer coasters

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Nope. The ones made on blue-back CDs play just fine, it's the "normal" 
CDs that won't. It's possible that Dave Burnham has the right of it. 
Those that won't play have full on paper labels. Still doesn't explain 
why they won't play or copy at all no matter what player - computer 
DVD/CD players or stand alone CD decks - or duplication software I use.

Would the Beer CDs be on those by any chance? Conversely, I have a bunch of paper-labelled burned discs from 200 that are still playable. Backed up of course!
