Yeah, we realize not many people have CDs anymore (I know I don’t, so I can’t vouch for the effectiveness of this technique), what with iTunes, BitTorrent, etc. But in case you do, and they’re scratched, you’ll want to try this. Follow the steps exactly or you could ruin your disc. And your pickle.
Here’s another tip for scratched — copy your CD.
In my experience, 90% of the time your computer can read audio CD when it skips on your player.

You are so mean about my ripping my music to itunes. I rip to the highest quality mp3 I can.
I have hearing problems, so really don’t notice that the quality is a bit less than CDs. And Apple doesn’t rip me off for music. I only buy CDs from people I hear live anyway.
Most of what I listen to is podcasts like TWiT, formerly Cranky Geeks, some science fiction podcasts and audible. Listen to Leo tell you about how great audible is.
Music? Who even listens to music anymore?
The microwave has become my favorite way to terminate a CD/DVD. I prefer to wait till dark and turn out the lights.
OMG… this is a blatant violation of the MDCPA! Those scratches are secret copy protection. Viewing this video makes you a criminal since it teaches you how to bypass the RIAA’s technology.
I get far better results with my belt sander, especially on rap CD’s.
Thanks! Works perfect! I knew this site was good for something!
