there is something pissing me off. all my cd's are getting fucked up somehow. i take extremely good care of them (or so i thought). i use one of those caselogic binder things and never leave them out. they go straight from there to either my discman or my car stereo. but now like half of my cds are seriously fucked up and they skip. this is seriously pissing me off. any advice?

i use one of the big binder things. it could just be the material used in the holders. although i can't see them selling something that scratches cd's. mine do get scratched sometimes too, when i use the binder.

i looked up reviews for the skip dr but some people said they permanently fucked up their cds. also from what i understand this takes off layers of plastic, so it can only be used a certain number of times.

search the messageboard for toothpaste. depending on how bad the scratch is, it usually works.

i used to use one of those cd binders but it scrached up all my cds (the scratches were minimal and didn't really affect play, but i really don't like them) so i just keep all my cds in their original cases on a cd rack now.

any friction with the playing surface risks scratching the disc, even if it's a soft material, dust can accrue and slowly scratch your discs.
i dislike jewel cases, they break too easily, etc etc but still they are best for protecting your discs. or you could just get slimline cd cases and store the artwork separately...

copy all your music onto the hard drive of your computer so that when it all comes crashing down you lose everything that is precious to your ears.
just kidding... I mean you can always burn fresh copies though. that's my strategem because scratches seem inevitable

well, I usually keep all my cds in the cases... I figure that's the best place for em... however, over here in the netherlands the cds I've brought with me have all been in a big binder thing, and I'm starting to get worried that they're all getting scratched... I put on a couple the other night, and they skipped a shit load... but the cd looks fine, and plays fine in my portable player, so I assume it's the landlords stereo which is fucked up...

its the scratch goblins, they sneak out of the floorboards at night and scratch those cds up, word. you need to discourage them by sprinkling pepper on the floor around the cds, scratch goblins love to roll around on the floor naked before getting to work. if you are woken in the night by some high pitched squeeking, you know your cds are safe.

so i saw this stupid as system with small envelopes to put them in, for 0,25 euro a piece! anywho: they said the jewel cases brake down your cd's. they'll go to hell anyway someday, not to far away
what's a binder? should i trust those book-like thing's you can put them in? is that a binder?

have you ever killed someone who layed away on the playing side. other way around can completely, somehow, screw a cd up as well however.
i once lent rdj-album (which i still have to get back from some other prick) to someone: he just dropped it in his bag, without a case around it i mean! ai

that happens to me too. be careful when you put your cd's back into your case, or else you may accidentally scratch them on the zipper track. also, i heard that putting the cd booklets behind the cd's was bad for them. something about the paper fibers scratching them...i dunno.

i had a strrange thing once when all the little spikes used to hold the CD in place in my clearr CDs cases starrted to fall clean out. i'd open the case and they would all fall out, perrfectly snapped off. i don't know if it was the cold orr what it was.

only some of the very first cds i have are scratched... yet playing is not affected...
my copy of 'Time Machines' by Coil also has a little scratch but i haven't heard it on the cd - i think it is due to the slim cardboard packaging. slim cardboard packagings must fuck your CDs up if you take them in and out of them to play them too often...
i don't like putting my CDs in something else than the original packaging but i did it for Time Machines. besides if it would scratch and playing would be affected, i would have difficulty buying another copy (like always with music by World Serpent)...

binders = bad cases = flimsy, but the lesser of 2 evils
i like the idea of burning/copying/ripping copies for every available cdplayer/mdplayer/pooter.. if only there were enough hours in the day.

jazembo - i clearly remember seeing an episode of tomorrows world many years ago where they were talking about the "cd-revolution".. they ran over one with a steam roller & then it still played perfectly (allegedly).. so how come i cant even touch mine with my fingers? or wipe the dust away with anything other than an anti-stat cloth?
i too am funny about cd-care. leant a disc to my ex-girlfriend a long time ago.. and it came back with nail polish all over it.. she swore it wasnt hers & that she knew nothing about it.
that wasnt the reason why we split up though. i dont think im THAT petty..
