Yes. Part of the idea of cryptic crosswords is...well, I was going to say to be misleading, but in my opinion some of them cross over the line into deception. The clue was printed the way it was to make readers think "compact disc", but. Obviously there was another meaning, too.
A kind of clue that I rarely get are the homophones. Part of the clue may lead me to, for ex., fair. But the other part, which I usually only get after looking at the answer, would have told me I should have put fare.
EDTI: woops, my bad. Merci, Faldage.
