I assume that if a CD is scratched on the top (ie some silver is missing so that you can see thru it) these is nothing that can be done, the info is lost, there is nothing I can spray on etc. is this correct... If so what machines are more likely to be able to cope with such damaged cds (my cheap/nasty ones dont like it, jump and make nasty(ier) sounds). dg.

Dave, That CD is ruined, but I suppose you could try putting some silver foil over the hole in the (probably) vain hope of getting some silence rather than nasty noises. I can't think that a more expensive player would handle it any better but you could ask someone (not me) with a Karik to try it out ... DjF | |||||

Thanks for that (bad news) dave. They are only scratched a little bit so thought that a better player might be able to cope. What is the karic, and what other ones are considered better at tracking etc. Thanks. | |||||

The Karik is a CD player from Linn. I'm not sure how good it is at
tracking but my one has never had a problem reading a CD - but having
said that all my CDs are in mint condition.
