Stickers on CD-R's/DVD-R's

[Ç!i!]

Is it safe to put a sticker on a CD-R or DVD-r if i'm going to use it in my PS2 (The Sticker covers the whole CD/DVD)

I was wondering because sometimes my Games come out of the PS2 a bit hot, and the heat on the sticker could cause a problems.

Thanks in advance 2 anyone that can help

yeah its safe. I know somebody who put those cd/dvd cover stickers on and have no problem at all.

Contrary to Bushwicks friend, I have read many and I mean many posts where people state that putting those label stickers on their backups and then having problems with them. Do a search on this forum Im sure youll find a few posts here where this has been debated before and youll see the outcome.

Thanks for the replies

I searched round and have decided not to label my DVD-R Backups.

But wat about CD-R Backups (Both PS2 and PSX games) Would they have the same problem?

Also, can any type of CD be labelled? By this i mean can any CD be labeled?

Those CD-label thing is a product made from hell.
If you choose to label any cd or DVD then make sure that it it 100% clean before putting the label on.

I have labeled some cd before and most of them still work but it is enough that a little bubble /that you hardly can see and it begins to skip, freeze and a "Diskread error" will show up.

Nowdays I never labels any of my cd's or dvd's. It is just so not worth it.

Ok Thanks. Did that problem occur for all games (PSX and PS2)??

It has happend on PS2 DVD games, movie DVD and CD-r audio for me.
It is that the sticker makes the disc to be unbalanced.
in a old ps-one/psx grey brick it can work. Thay don't spin so fast.
I had a moviebackup here and the sticker looked alright, but at a sertain point it couldn't read the disc anymore.
my burner could read it (with some diffaculties)

it takes so little to get the disc unbalanced.

Havn't testes any psx cd-r backup that are labled in my ps2 yet.
I using my old ps-one for those (it is so nice to play quiet sometimes, the ps2 fan is way too loud)
