What's wrong with this CD?


I have a few CDs where small spots of the aluminum is missing. These are small and irregular shapes. Does anyone know, is this a manufacturing fault or is the CD deteriorating? Thanks

They are called "pinholes" and are more likely a manufacturing defect.  The very few CD's of mine that I have seen this on play fine as the data correction in the cd player can usually fill in these gaps.
