There are several reasons, but one predominates. When you remove a
fixed-length packet disc after having written anything to it, the
directory information is written back from RAM. That means that at least
portions of the disc are "scrubbed" - rewritten many times. The disc is
supposed to tolerate 1000 cycles, but in fact read accuracy goes down
continuously with erase cycles and the 1000 number seems absurdly
optimistic from the experience of most.

Mike Richter, should you not have cRoxio rewrite the above?
