This isn't quite a General Visual Basic question, but no, a magnet will not harm a CD. It uses a laser to change pits and lands using die, and it does not use any type of magneticly sensitive material to store data.
See this link.
Is that true? Can someone 2nd his statement?
No magnet damage, lasers like he said...
no trust me, we had fun corrupting disks (and Moniters) but CD-ROMS are optical, magnetics doesn't affect them
