After Thad's warning, I took out my Chain Reactions. I've had one in the bedroom that wouldn't play on the boombox there and I thought it was the problem of the old boombox. It turns out to have major cracks, two of them, going more than halfway across the disc. It's a coaster now. The rest of mine are fine, and now reside in jewel boxes. This warning is not a hoax.
