@cavyherd @uint8_t pretty hard to do with a regular CD cause the aluminium coating is directly on the top, together with the laquer and printing, Would probably work better with a double sided DVD since they have the aluminium coating sandwiched on the inside

I thought the aluminum coating was *inside* the plastic shell? Maybe it's the double-sided ones I'm thinking of. (It may be apparent that I've never looked closely at CDs.)

@cavyherd for a CD the coating is on top, covered by a thin layer of lacquer. For DVD's it's sandwiched between two thin plastic disks

Oh how interesting! I hadn't realized there was any structural difference at all.

@cavyherd Used to be a long time ago! But then it was cheaper to not double-side it.
