I find this quite hard to belive to be honest... Wear down the laser? 
Would someone mind explaining to me how this is possible?

Back on the subject of changing audio tracks, I was messing around 
with this a little over a year ago with a copy of Ys. I thought it 
would be fun to take a few of the tracks and replace them with tracks 
from Ys perfect collection, and others. I had an Amiga at the time, 
and let me tell you. I had no problem making backups whatsoever. The 
program I used... Ahh man, I can't even remeber! :(  Ahkk, does not 
matter anyway, who has an Amiga around here for making cdrs anyway.

All I did is used the burning soft to make a copy of the cd to my hd. 
This particular program makes seperate files for every track on the 
cd, audio/data does not matter. Then has all the tracks listed out on 
a menu. I just listened to each track, then replaced each one. Burned 
the new CD. Bingo.

Now I have "Ys Special Edition" heh. It's really quite cool, Of 
course a few months later I got more Ys Soundtrack CDs. And now I 
want to do it again, because I have even more tacks to choose from, 
But no more Amiga.

I imagine NERO would be the program of choice, but I have not sat 
down to try this with it. Perhaps even CDR win.

To be honest, I am just not happy with any of the Burning soft on the 
PC. Most are all quite messy.
