Signs of Disc Rot
On CDs, the rot becomes visually noticeable in two ways:
- When the CD is held up to a strong light, light shines through several pin-prick-sized holes.
- Discoloration of the disc, which looks like a coffee stain on the disc. See also CD bronzing.
In audio CDs, the rot leads to scrambled or skipped audio or even the inability to play a track.
