You have confirmed that they also skip in a different player?

Was expecting this to be a homeslice thread.

Why not just buy new CDs?

If they are scratched and a player can't read them well. They are probably copiable in a computer. Copy them and burn them onto a new disc... or convert them all to mp3s and then you never have to switch them out.

Scrub them down with rubbing alcohol and cotton balls before trying to use the repair system. i used to do it with cd’s back in the day. It worked more often than you would think. I also had a hand held device that you put the cd’s in and turned them to remove scratches. It also worked better than expected.

Interesting, was wondering recently if some scratched disks could be saved

One of my trucks must have had some sand in the CD player because it fucked up 4-5 good CDs before I realized it was a CD killer. It doesn't have protection from dust getting to the internals.

I had one. They would look weird but it worked.
