Howdy guys. I'm just wondering if anyone here has any experience with repairing/resurfacing scratched CDs.
Alot of my favourite old music CDs are really getting worse for wear. They've gotten a fair few knicks and scratches over the years and starting to skip pretty bad. So any recommendations on what I might do to remedy this (besides buying new copies)?
Cheers.

I haven't had much experience with such, but the CD-rom drives of puters seem to be a tad better at reading scratched CDs than ordinary players. One of my CDs was scratched so bad that most of the tracks were impossible to listen to, but when I ripped mp3s off it they were all fine. So... you might wanna try'n burn backups of bad CDs.

Skip Doctor is the product I use. It also goes by the name Game Doctor and DVD Doctor but they are all the exact same product with a different name.

I have used both the model I linked to as well as the mechanized version (skipdoctor MD). It works great!
