yah teh grits in the toothpaste fill the scratches enough to play.

Just to make sure .... cover the cd's read side with toothpaste, wash it all off, dry it... and voila. it should work again.

Then I guess you copy it and toss the scratched one right?

Yah but u have to make shure that wipe straight down with a cotton cloth not in a curcular motion or u will really f*ck up the disk.

I don't think you can fix messed up Cds. But yea, try to rub the bottom side of the Cd against the road using your feet, it will give your CD that nasty look, it should do the work.

Toothpaste? Alcohol? What is with you people, the one and only solution is to put it in the microwave for three minutes.
