No, but if you manage to scratch the aluminum foil layer on the backside, the CD instantly becomes useless. Or when you store cd's in large unboxed stacks, they can stick together, which can also damage the backside.

Which is/was pretty hard to do on PRESSED CD's as they were covered with a thick coating, and sometimes quite easy to do on CD-R. > Or when you store cd's in large unboxed stacks, they can stick together, which can also damage the backside. Also, I only ever experienced that on CD-R, never on pressed CDs. And to be fair: If you store all your tapes unwinded on a large spool, they also might see some damage over time ;)
