Just my thread,  sorta.  I'm sorta curious to know if anybody knows any
tricks to scratching a CD so it will skip.  I tried on one and after several
deep cuts it still wouldn't skip,  so then I mashed it up real good and the
CD player couldn't read it at all.  Otherwise would someone know a computer
program that could simulate CD skips?  Thanks.
