Skribe's got it wrong, the coating is on the other side of the CD. You have 
to re-groove your CDs with a bit of #2 garnet paper. Put the CD tracks-down 
on the paper garnet-up, place the heels of your hands over the spindle hole 
on the CD, put your full weight on your hands and slowly spin the CD 
counterclockwise.

It helps to mutter the invokation ``Ahwah targu si-yam'' as you do this. 
Especially if you have witnesses. (-:
