Fixing damaged CDs
Hi List: Here is an article I found on fixing damaged CDs. Wayne How to Fix a Scratched CD or DVD While compact discs (CDs) are remarkably durable, it's nearly impossible to prevent scratches and scuffs from occurring from time to time. The resulting damage can be either a skip in your favorite Bob Marley track or, in the case of data CDs, the loss of that spreadsheet you worked on for two weeks. Don't despair-repair! While commercial CD repair kits and CD refinishing machines are available, you may be able to repair the damage on your own with products you already have. Here's how. 1. Clean the disc. Even if a CD isn't actually scratched or scuffed, dust, oil, and other surface contaminants can prevent it from playing properly. Thus cleaning the disc should always be your first move. Run warm water over the damaged disc to remove dust. If there is stubborn dirt or grease on the disc, gently rub it with your finger while you are washing it, and use a gentle detergent (with the water) or rubbing alcohol (in place of water.) Anytime you rub or wipe a CD, you should do so by starting at or near the center of the disc and rubbing straight outward toward the edge to prevent further scratching. Shake the water off and let the disc air-dry (do not dry it with a towel or cloth). 2. Try to play the disc. Many times a good cleaning is all that is needed. If, however, problems persist after cleaning, try to play the disc in a different CD player. Some players handle scratches better than others; computer CD drives tend to be best. 3. Burn a new disc. If you can get the CD to work in one CD player-especially your computer's-but not in others, try burning a new disc. The CD burning utility on your computer may be able to read the CD well enough to produce a perfect copy. You may wish to try this even if the CD doesn't play correctly on the computer. 4. If you have some vision, locate the scratch. Actually repairing the disc will be easier if you can figure out where the offending scratch is. Visually inspect the CD's playing surface for scratches or scuffs. Scratches that run perpendicular to the CD's spiral-that is, those that run generally from the center to the rim-may not affect playing at all, and in any case are generally less damaging than those that roughly follow the direction of the spiral. If there are several scratches, but the CD only skips in one or two places, you may be able to approximate the location of the offending scratches based on which track skips. Keep in mind that the first track of a CD begins near the center, and the direction of play proceeds outward to the edge. 5. Polish the CD. Though counterintuitive, polishing a disc can repair a scratched CD by removing some of the outer plastic coating and thus making existing scratches shallower. A number of common household products can be used to polish the CD, but toothpaste-especially baking soda toothpaste-and Brasso are probably the most tried-and-true. Apply a small amount toothpaste (must be paste, not gel) or Brasso to a soft, clean, lint-free cloth: an eyeglass-cleaning cloth works well. Gently rub the cloth on the scratch or scuff in a radial motion (from inside to outside). Try to focus your efforts solely on the scratch or scratches you've identified (if possible). Polish in this manner for a couple minutes, reapplying Brasso or toothpaste to the cloth as necessary. Be careful not to apply much pressure, although you will still be able to feel the cloth gently scratching the CD as it polishes. 6. Remove polishing product from disc. If you used toothpaste, rinse the disc thoroughly with warm water and let dry. Make sure to remove all of the toothpaste and let the disc dry completely before trying to play it. With Brasso, wipe off excess product and let the rest dry. Then, using a clean cloth, gently wipe disc again. If you are using Brasso, make sure to do so in a well-ventilated area, and avoid breathing in the fumes. Always read the safety instructions and warnings on any chemical product as many (such as rubbing alcohol) are flammable and / or can cause skin, eye, or respiratory irritation. Keep in mind that it is possible to further damage a CD if you do this incorrectly (i.e. if you apply too much pressure while polishing or rub the CD in a circular motion). Make sure the surface upon which the disc is laid is flat and firm but not hard or abrasive. Data is stored on the foil or dye layers on the top of the disc (label side) and the proective top layer is very thin by comparison to the polycarbonate plastic bottom layer you will polish. The thin top layer can easily be scratched or perforated. If this happens the data is lost forever as it is not repairable by any means. Pressing on disc upon too soft a surface may crack it or cause it to delaminate. 7. Test the disc. If the problem persists, polish again for up to 15 minutes or until the scratch is almost completely buffed out. The surface around the scratch

With tax time coming up, since my birthday falls shortly after we get our refund, I'm thinking of trying to convince my wife to get me an iPod. First, I see from looking at Rockbox's site that it does work with the 60-gig iPod, but not the 80GB yet. Anyone know if the developers plan to make Rockbox useable with the 80-gig? Yes, I know 60 should be enough, but I have a HUGE music collection. :-) Second, I know there are other MP3 players out there, but is there one with which Rockbox will work that has the storage capacity of the 60GB iPod? Any plans to make it work with Zune? Finally, since they can apparently be played on the iPod, will Rockbox work with content purchased from Audible.com? Okay, one more question, actually...Who IS the developer of Rockbox? Is it a blind/VI person? I ask because I'd assume it is because let's face it, many sighted people don't think to include speech capabilities in their software...But at the same time, in looking at rockbox.org, it looks like it offers some great things for the sighted users as well...Just curious.

Re: A new recording device
Hi: I'm confused! Can the IRiver h140 play MP3 with the rockbox? Thanks! Wayne - Original Message - From: Nektarios Mallas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC audio discussion list. ' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 1:46 PM Subject: RE: A new recording device Thanks a lot. I own the iriver h140 and I use it with rockbox. I only use the normal firmware to record directly to mp3 because recording in wav eats the battery fast. I whish rockbobx could record in mp3 too. Can't they record in vorbas since it is a free format? Any way, I am thinking of ptr2 myself. Regards.

Subject: Re: A new recording device Nektarios, you wrote: Michael, have you had any experience with the ptr2? How would you compare the recording quality with the iriver both with the internal mike and the external or line in? I own the PTR2. I've recorded with the 140, but I've not used Rockbox for that. I believe, that one can control the record level with Rockbox while recording? This isn't possible with the normal firmware. I think that the recording quality of the two is quite similar. Both machines can record in uncompressed Wave and MP3. As much as I know, one cannot use MP3 on the iRiver when Rockbox is used, because MP3 requires a license, and this license costs money. The main difference in my opinion is accessibility. With the PTR2, I can ask the recorder to tell me, how much time's left on the card or CD. The machine tells me, when the battery is flat. I have a talking level control. I can easily distinguish between record and record pause mode and so on. Like the iRiver the Plextalk has a stereo Plug-in power capable microphone input and a line-in. However it doesn'T have optical in and out like the iRiver. The built-in mic of the Plextalk is mainly for note taking, I'd not use it to record music. But I wouldn't use the built-in mic of the iRiver for that either, because of the hard disk noise. *** Michael Lang *** ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

No, it might not say that other software could transfer files. It probably mentions Musicmatch because that's the software bundled with their player. You returned something perfectly good. And by the way, it makes no difference what you return. You asked a question and I answered it. I happen to know that both Realplayer and WMP support that player. It's too bad you weren't smart enough to figure that out.

There're plenty of them that can replace that like Windows Media Player or Realplayer. I am not aware that Musicmatch has any more features than they do and they are more accessible. Musicmatch has had that problem for years and isn't about to change so I would just say replace Musicmatch and you should be alright. I don't see anyware there anything like what you say. Look for an add device option in which ever player you choose and follow any instructions. Then go into the help menus and look at transferring files.

You didn't mention you knew that WMP and realplayer supported it, you just stated that I was dumb and stupid because I wasn't smart enough to realize that I couldn transfer files with realplayer or WMP. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
