Default Does anyone else share my bitter hatred for...

....the damned soft stickers they use to seal CD's. I hate trying to pull those things off. I definitely understand why so many people just pull the disk out and throw away the jewel box. That way you don't have to worry about cleaning that sticker off. Why in god's name does it have to be so easy to tear it? Huh??

Default they put a little red pull tab on the sticker like a pack of cigs......

<Chris Farley> Suprised you didn't know that </Chris Farley>

CD's these day come with little tabs on them...I guess if you are buying *old* music that doesn't really sell that well, you could be just be seeing some of the early production CD's =p

Default trick... get a cd opener at your local cd store...

or use a sharp blade to slice the whole length of that sticker. then it is fairly easy to peel up the sticker in two large halves.

but yes, I &^@%~&! hate them too.

Default Duh...I know that smarty pants, but not on these two Sheryl Crow CD's I just got.

Besides, that little pull tab is worth about squat IMO.

Default Dude, don't panic! Carefully "unhook" the CD cover and gently pull it away from the jewel case.

It makes it way easier to remove those sillyclear plastic seals... or to access the CD, burn a copy, and then sell on eBay as a "brand new, never used" CD.

Default Dude, I've been removing them for years, sometimes successfully, and sometimes not so.

That doesn't mean I hate them any less.
