But unless you are labeling rewritable media, that should not be a problem. The label will add some protection to cheap media. On the other hand, they do not work well with slot-type drives. The edge of the label starts to peal off and stick after a number of uses. (Automotive CD players are definitely hard on them!) If anything, I would think the extra weight would be a benefit once the drive has spun up. The flywheel affect would tend to hold the speed more constant. It might make the disk a little slower to spin up, but I have not noticed it. But the faster the drive, the more critical it is to get the label centered.
