Anybody know any other ways to vary the length of the skip?  Would drawing
thicker or thinner lines on the CD make a difference?  I'm really enjoying
all these posts and i've been collecting sound bites from a variety of old
CD's.  Maybe i'll just look in the $1 bin at a few used CD stores,  finally
a good use for some of that crap.

>From the sound of it others have also enjoyed making their CDs do naughty
things,  anybody have any recomendations as far as which CD's they've
plundered/mutilated the most?  I've really found great stuff in a few old
crappy Drum and Bass compilations not to mention one or two electroacoustic
CD's. Screwing up these old CDs has been really inspiring for me...
