How is that even supposed to work? The laser beam has to be reflected back down to the sensor in order to read the CD.

Translucent != transparent, but you might be on to something.
Maybe it works better on slim drives with a lower ceiling. Larger drives with space above the disc might allow the laser to refract and generate garbage.

I mean the CD does work. But not with all players… Not sure what makes some work and some not. Laser wavelength?

Really wasn’t into the singles but overall, pretty good album.

Maybe stick to making vanity records for the superfans / vinyl collectors.

Loving this little nugget from the article:
Ah yes, the environmentally friendly option of producing thousands of plastic disks that don’t work.
