CD Repair

[swbo101]

Has anyone ever brought a damaged CD to a store that offers CD repair? You know, the ones that use an actual machine and not those cheap plastic things you buy in a Best Buy. Just wondering if they actually work. A local store by me only charges $2, the price is nothing. I just don't want it to be worst when they are done. It only skips occasionally on one part of one song.

Thanks.

The machine that you speak of is a CD re-surfacer. It actually takes off a layer of plastic. They work fine if you are wanting to get rid of scratches in the plastic.

I'm thinking about taking a scratched up XBOX360 GTAIV disc, that someone gave to me, to a local record store and getting it fixed.

Yes, it's just a scratch. It's on a cd from an out of print boxed set, I just can't go out and buy that exact mastering of the cd.

Much appriciated.
