[newbie] OT - CD repair kits-do they work?

2004-01-12 Thread Todd Slater
My daughter got to one of my CD's and scratched it all up. I've got it
as a low-quality ogg, but I definitely want to preserve the CD. Has
anybody tried those kits that are supposed to repair scratched CD's? Do
they work?

Thanks,
Todd

I have a GameDr.  I think these same devices are sold as CD-Dr and
DVD-Dr.  I think they are identical.  Anyway, it does work. I repaired a
CD that had deep scratches in it that was completely unusable, until
after I ran it through the GameDr several times.  Yes, I'd say that
these devices do work.  Good luck.

As long as it isn't the label side that's scratched, they work pretty
good.  I've repaired quite a few myself after the dog knocked over my
bookshelf.

Never used a kit, but used plexiglass polish once and it worked
fine...

Yes they do work up to a point. Clead the CD then using Ripperx rip it
(check the rip wav box when you have finished move the wav files to a
new CD most of the scratches will be gone cdparanoia catches most of it
