Hi,

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, could not hink of anywhere else to ask this.

I am in the process of ripping my CD collection to flac via EAC. Most of my CD's are fine but there will be some that have marks/fine scratches on them.

Do any of you use anything at home for cleaning/repairing your music CD's?

I have stumbled across this and was wondering if it was worth the purchase.

Thanks,

Gazza.

To be honest you don't really need any gizmos.

A lint free cloth is all you need, if the scratches are deep, no cleaner in the world is going to repair it.

This cleaner is nothing new I can assure you.

Firstly good call for converting to digital in the proper way. Secondly don't bother. Toothpaste is apparently the ideal solution which engineers use. Lay it out to dry and apparently it works. Alcohol is apparently the solution for vinyl. Spirits like vodka should work. Use Flac Frontend to decode to wav from Flac.

Cheers for the replies.

I decided not to purchase and glad I did not. Just finished ripping all my CD's with EAC and Flac Frontend.

It had a problem with one CD and managed to correct it
