Nothing. The data is not magnetically recorded on a CD or DVD.
Just don't put strong magnets near audio or video tapes - they ARE magnetically recorded!

CDs do not rely on magnetics, so nothing will happen to the CD unless the magnet touches it and possibly scratches it deeply. Be sure not to get the magnets around your hard drive - or you may well have serious problems. It's also bad for VHS tapes, credit cards, and pacemakers - among other things.

i dont think anything shud happen. Its only floppy disks that store using magnetic properties of the disk ... if u take a magnet close to a floppy, data will be erased. But in cds, data is stored by 'burning' pits into the cd .. so i guess nothing shud happen

Cds get burned by making small holes in them (said simple) so its definitely not affected by magnets
