I haven't but they are a fiver on ebay. Not sure if thats any good for you

I'll survive. When life goes back to normal I dare say Oxfam et al will have it in at some point. Have a lot of mine ripped to flac but not that one annoyingly
That sparked an idea. Tried ripping it instead of playing it. Four tracks fine. The other tracks ripped but with errors against accuraterip. However the tracks sound ok to my ears! That will definitely do for now.
I guess the other lesson here is don't use cheap bin bags for rubble. Even double bagged they just can't hack it

was it a real/proper CD? Did it say Compact Disc Digital Audio on it with the offical logo?

Because those are very very good and you can polish the scratches with car t-cut (not in circles... from centre to edge) and then with car polish and get amazing results

You can get it secondhand on Ebay for under £2.50 if the repair does not work:

Amazon have it £4.99 brand new.
cat that's a dirty link - wtf is goskimresources when it's at home? Or rather it's a weird thing, watch what happens when you click on it vs right-click copy link.
If you don't have any T Cut you can use Brasso or toothpaste to do the polishing. Had to do it numerous times on PS2 discs when my son was scratching them up for not putting them away and it works a charm, yeah it leaves surface scratches but removes the ridges of deeper scratches so the lens doesn't skip on them (or something like that)

I am sure there is some software which if you rip the CD will error correct based off other people who have ripped it. I can't remember what it was called though.
the one I have will try and interpolate to repair bad data and then compare its efforts to a database of check codes etc compiled from everyone's rips but it's not quite the same as repairing it from their rips (which would require a database of their ripped data).
Cat apologies not sure what was going on, all links behaving themselves today. Must have been something in the cache I guess. Always clear your cookies folks!
