JLO Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Ive noticed alot of my CD's seem to skip and my CD burner is very touchy about it and I waste alot of blank CD's. Im considering buying one of those Cd skip doctor devices. If anyone has used one of these with success or has any advice on this topic, it would surley be appreciated. Oh yeah, GO BILLS!!!

Pete Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Good question- I always wondered that too. I have heard that they work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I had one a while ago. If the CD is only slightly scratched, like scratched enough to screw up a burn, but not scratched enough to skip in a normal cd player, then they work well. It just buffs the entire surface to make it smooth all around. If there's a deep scratch, they don't work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I don't understand why they don't coat those discs alot better and build better lasers to compensate. Looking back on this technology, you'd wonder why we were in a rush to discard cassette tapes in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frez Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Try car wax or tooth paste, they usually do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the plastic melts and hardens it fills in the scratches, even deep ones. If you do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
