Speaking of a witch, what's that method I heard about a long time ago
whereby you can sand out the scratches on a music CD to make it not skip
anymore? Something about using a real fine abrasive element?
Is this possible? One of my favourite CDs skips terribly on one track and
it really pisses me off, especially when I'm supposed to be mellowing out.
