One of the first programs I wrote was a CD database. It was written in bash shell and used CSV files to store the data. I had CD cases with a numbering scheme and had a position for each CD. I placed a piece of masking tape on each opening in the cases and a corresponding piece of tape on each CD.

Tonight, I pulled out Crossover by D.R.I after seeing it in the "New" section on Emusic. When I pulled the CD out I noticed the old masking tape and pulled it off. It also pulled of a big chunk of the CD! I didn't know that the label side was the bare surface of the CD. The disc is unusable and I'm downloading the album from Emusic.
