Actually, I was just burning a copy of a brian eno CD for my father-in-law (discreet music), and after grabbing & burning the trax perfectly I noticed that the original disc has tons of tiny holes in the encoded metallic layer. Held it up to the window & it looked like the ceiling of a planetarium -- but it still works fine. As for what's been done to it -- absolutely nothing. One of the first CDs I ever purchased, goin on 11 or 12 years now, and I've kept it in immaculate shape scratch-wise (generally no eno at parties). Aren't CDs, especially first generation, supposed to decay after a while? The reflective surface of this disc looks as though it's oxidizing or something as well. hm. sr -- sd Chris Cykana wrote: > > > > Benway says: > >>This can only fix CD's that have not been scratched all the way through, ie. if you can see light through it, it's trashed.<< > > Dear god. I've seen CD's treated pretty badly, but I've never seen them scratched completely through. What are you people doing to them?! > > Chris.
