Add my name to the list...  I noticed an inch-long crack (from the center
out) a few months after I bought it, though it still plays in most of my CD
players.  When you place the CD on the metallic tray, the tray has a
tendency to bend backward, bending the CD along with it.  I still haven't
had any trouble with the Basic Channel or Maurizio packages (though I've
obviously taken a bit more care with them since)...
