BOC - a strange request, perhaps

[Christian Mumford]

Hello Ib, I have found out how to "fix" scratched CDs. If you jus use the "copy" fuction in Nero or Roxio or SonicRecordNow! type programs (not ripping as files onto your machine like Media Player, i.e. not storing anything) and copy the entire disc. A small scratch usually does ok with a copy program. I had an ArcMet CD which I couldn't listen to for years because it was badly scuffed and now I have a copy from Nero, without any problem. Hope this helps.
