Please help settle a question, to wit;
Does turning the power off on your CD, while it is playing,
scratch the surface being read?
I say no.
She says yes, and specifically says "It's like stopping an
old record player and having the needle scratch the
surface."
Now, I do not pretend to be an expert, however I always
thought CD's read the data through the use of light
(

I thought all data corruption would occur through mechanical
means, like placing a CD on a rough surface, dust, and the like.
Please settle this, as I lack sufficient credibility.
If I'm wrong or right, I just want to know the truth.
Thanks!
