Yeah I've had CDs explode before. My sister was heavily into mixed tape burning with her friends. When I got a CD burner she used it all the time.

I'm not sure on the why? But the tray eventually would eject with the CD still spinning? Bad braking system?

You could hear the drive go nuts and speed up to weird speeds and one day a disc exploded inside.

Remember the warnings about not inserting X format discs into Y drives.

Does anyone know why this happens?

The warnings about not inserting X format discs into Y drives were usually about not inserting non-circular discs (or sometimes mini-CDs) into slot-loading drives.
