Scratched CD Repair Recommendation


What CD remedies have you used and recommend to restore the playability of a scratched CD? Please share your "fix its" you've actually used and succeeded with.

I bought a used Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Ultra Disc II at a discount but it has some scratches and causes two of the seven tracks to skip. My "high end" players (Sony DVD 9000ES/Denon 3800) can handle it but "lesser" household CD players (clock radio, computer, car, etc...) won't play the scratched tracks. The disc is the Allman Brothers Brothers & Sisters.

Thanks and I look forward to the community's wisdom.

Might try simply ripping the CD using EAC to get a bit-perfect copy and then writing it at 1X using a CDR. I gather there are those that believe, using this method, you can get copies that may outperform originals.
