demagnitizing CD s?

I'm ready to try demagnitizing my CD's with a Radio Shack
bulk tape eraser. Anyone have any ideas as to why this improves the sound, if indeed it does? Also, what is the procedure?
Do you just pass the magnet over one, or both sides of the CD? How long, how far away, which side? Thanks for your help.

I own both radio shack demag unit and bedini II, and the bedini II is better IMO. However I rarely use either unit
now as I have become less convinced over time that they make
a noticable improvement. Just follow instructions with RS
unit as Albert above describes, substituting CD for tape.
Good luck.

brauser, what are the improvements you are hearing, which as you say makes Bedini II a "no brainer" tweak? Are you using duplicate CDs to carefully compare treated vs untreated CDs? And if you aren't what do you base your observations on?
