    Can I use CD media in any other shape (star, heart, etc.) than a round shape with my VAIO computer?

    Is it OK to use CD media not with a circle shape but with such a special shape as a star, heart, etc.?

    You cannot use specially shaped CD media as they may cause problems to your computer.
