How many of us have encountered numberous scratched cds? Most of my cds I have purchased are used and/or out of print and forced to purchase what is available at the time. Even iTunes and Amazon don't have mp3s for most of these so called out of print. Searching over the web I have found toutorials of repairing scrathed cds by using such items as tooth paste, banannas, and even eggs. What method do you use? Of all the nearly thousand cds I have collected through out the years, I have only had to replace aproxmanly six cds. I know the other option would me only purchase mp3s, but as I mentioned, most of my music is out of print and not available in mp3.
