Is there a program that can copy a scratched cd???????????

[Bojax]

I thought i remembered reading about this at one time. Namely audio cd's. I have a few older cd's that skip when played and i was wondering if there is an option in a current burning software or another program that edit's the scratches.
Thank's

I have some damaged CDs and DVDs and I just ordered a repair kit for them. It was less than $15 shipped and it is supposed to be able to repair 100 CD/DVDs. I should have it next week, so we'll see how it works. I don't know of any software that is designed to duplicate scratched CDs though.

I remember a few people saying that a slight rub of tooth paste on the scratched area may make the disk readable. I haven't tried this out myself however. Why not give it a test try on 1 disk and tell us how it works.

Plus it may leave your PC's breath minty fresh!

arent the skips caused by the cdrom not being able to read the scratched areas? and not accually the programs fault. but try the toothpaste trick, the abrasives fill the cracks in temporarly or something like that. good luck! I hate scratced cds!

I don't know how damaged your cd is, but the Exact Audio Copy ripper has a setting where a good quality cd player can recover some kinds of damaged information -- it's the "C2 Feature".

A decent CD player is essential. That can make all the difference. I read that a 40x TEAC player is very good at reading slighly damages CD's.
