Scratched CDs work better with QS Reference - you can play 'em without 'em skipping/getting stuck...

Posted by: Steve Toy on 30 August 2001

My first ever CD purchase was back in 1987 - Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. Not long after I bought it I scratched it by attempting to load it into the drawer when another disc was already present (for some reason (?))
The upshot was that the first track, Secondhand News got scratched, so you reached a point of hearing,
"Nananananananananananananananananananananana nanananananananananananananana...."
...and you had to forward it to the next track...
If I'd posted on the problem with this disc, I may have been advised to rub a small amount of toothpaste on it to cut through the scratch , or to buy me some
*Manamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamana manamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamana.... big grin *
Since the QS Reference table has ben installed, the disc no longer gets stuck! smile
I know I'm going to lose some FEPs for this posting, but, hey! I actually get to hear the rest of the track now! smile

It's always a nice day for it, have a good one wink

I just bought a mint vinyl copy of Rumours for a pound (agree though that mint WEA is nothing to get excited about).

My mates cheap Sony plays all the CDs which my CD3, CDX rejected. The CDS2 is yet to spit anything out.

Funny that, I thought all CD players rejected 'Rumours' big grin and there should be an active Celine Dion filter too! big grin big grin

My CD3 hates one CD by All Saints, (Don't ask) anyhoo the CD is brand new, stuck it in and skipped to track 5, comes up with an error, the only way to get it too work is to start from track one, and listen to the whole thing, (Torture) took it back got another and the same thing, use it for a coaster now.
