I ran into that when I loaded a CD with a stick-on label.
That's when I discovered that *everyone* except the manufacturers of
that junk says that you should NOT put labels on CDs. And I no longer
do; if I get one I peel it off.
I was able to get a CD unbalanced by putting too much ink on it from a
Sharpie. It didn't come apart, it just made a lot of noise.
