So you don't know how CDs are made then!

Hint, the data is on the pressed side.

This turns out not to be the case.

Wikipedia has it right this time. (the diagram may be slightly

That diagram says what I said!
The pressed layer being layer "A"
The laser being "E" and it shines through, guess what?, the pressed layer
"A".
