does anyone sharpie thier CD's???

its amazing. take a wedge sharpie, and color in the outermost edge of the CD.. then color in the center flat area, and the innermost edge... when you hold the CD up to light, you should not see any coming through..... so actually before you do this, pick a track, turn it up and listen,,,,, then color in the disc, without adjuting the volume, listen again..... i get more volume, calrity and depth...... check this out!!

Any color sharpie (as long as it 'stops' red is fine.
I used to use the green Uni-Posa pens, but found that a black Sharpie works as well.
I only do the outer edge, on CD and DVDs.
I use the thick tip Sharpie. (It is cheaper, and lasts longer, than the thin tip ones)

If indeed this helps, wouldn't it be easier just to burn a dark label on a CD label program?

the edges are what cause whatever the problem is. A label is not gonna curve around the edges.

A label changes the weight and balance, and, therefore, the red book specs (FWIW).
