Admittedly, things digital are toward the rear of my focus but I'd never heard of crystal/glass CDs.
Reading about these makes me wonder about the history of alternative media (not format) for records/LPs - or if there were/are any of such. (No - picture vinyl does not count. ;-> ) People say a "problem" with records is the physical thing itself.
I'm aware that the physical composition of vinyl pellets can and does impact sonics, but what about an altogether different media. Has there been any effort in that direction? What would wear well (better) while at the same time do no more arm to a diamond, sapphire, etc. stylus AND be quiet, not attract dust, take an imprint, clean up nicely, accommodate an accurate center hole, etc. etc.
