I have one of each color of Sharpey.

Black, blue, red.

I have tried all three and red is the best. It stands out and is very easy to read against the bland color of the CDR. (I don't use wacko colored cd's like pink, orange, etc. Just regular silver or gold.)

I also tried Fat Point Sharpey and Fine Point Sharpey.

Fat Point sucks Fat Balls.

Get Fine Point Sharpey.

Am I the only one who uses my X-Acto knife? Works great, too. By the way, my CD's have been skipping lately. I think I need a new player. Can you recommend a model?

hmm. could be time to change the blade... maybe it's getting dull which is the reason your cd's are skipping ;)
