Default Why do CDs get scratched...

...when they're in CD cases. I'm not talking about the jewel cases they come in, I mean those cases you can buy that hold 10, 26, 98 CDs or whatever. You'd think they'd make the damn things so they wouldn't **** up the CDs.
I was going through all my old CDs so I can encode them into MP3, so I can make MP3 CDs...and most of them are too scratched up to copy. :madfawk:

Well, dust can be from rocks, and the surface of the mirror is only silver, so go figure.

Yeah...I think they make them cheaper now. The first CD I ever bought (back in '94) is still unscratched. :eh:
