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)... --------- JohnBush.
