wmcmanus, I am sorry to poke fun, but the manufacturers explanation of why it works just struck me as absurd. I get very skeptical when manufacturers don't seem to understand their own products. Maybe it is just poor add copy, or I am missing some of the physics.
In any event, you have gotten me curious about CD balance, and related nonuniformities. I am going to look into cleaning up the edge of some of my discs that wobble like crazy. Unfortunately that is only the beginning. They wobble due to warpage as much as being trimmed improperly. I have even found one disc with the spiral tracks off center. That has to be the worst. No wonder the read mechanism just gave out on my Sony 333.
Does the bevel get cut all the way to the reflective layer? I am wondering what would happen if you got to that interface. As far as balance goes, the more material off the better. I also have several awful CDs that could stand to lose all of the music tracks as well.
