Thread: Scratched Cd's

  1. #1
    I'm trying to rip my Cd's using EAC / Lame method at alt preset insane (I dont mind the waste). My problem is that I have access to other CD's, which sometimes are in poor condition. Because of this, and having the software set to high quality for all settings, I'm getting too many aborted tracks. How do I get over this problem when ripping thede CD's, change the settings, to what?

    I read in a pc magazine that the best way to rip scratched music cd's was with Nero 5.5. at a very low speed.

    I havent tried it though.

    get one of those Disc Dr.'s.
    They're like 30$. They can repair damn near anything.

    this post is guaranteed 100% parrot-free

    NO WAY!

    Toothpaste has small crystals of stuff (not sure what) but tends to scratch the CD moreso.

    If you really want to remove any scratches, I have actually had quite a bit of luck with Turtle Wax, and those Skip Dr.'s work well.

    Though the best way I have found to remove scratches, is to make a copy of the CD using Nero. It doesn't even matter what speed you use, I suppose the slower the better, but I have "repaired" completly destroyed CD's in this fashion.

    He's actually got the idea. Works everytime for me. Changes an unplayble cd into one that doesn't skip once. No joke.
