It lets me easily read what my magnifying glass did not let me read before.

I use a combination of the smartphone method from this forum post, which works well for 99% of discs I've tried it on so far, plus a cheap loupe with 30x/60x magnification that I picked up from Amazon. That helps to get some of the really tiny mould SID details that a camera won't capture.
