Hello there. Whenever i rip using EAC secure mode with a scratched copy of Eminem Show, it is flawless for most of the tracks but, on a few the scratches are so bad that it destroys the track and makes it robot-esque. Is there any home appliances to remove these light scratches all over the disc so i can have a flawless copy? and btw i tried burst mode t&c and it still had a flawed copy.

You might try looking at your local Computer or Video game store for a product called "Cd Doctor"
it resurfaces the entire cd to get rid of the scratches.

(Note, it is also marketed under the names : DVD Doctor, Game Doctor, Disc Doctor, etc...)

They key is to get something in the scratch which is 1) transparent, and 2) has a refractive index closer
to Lexan (the plastic) than to air. People use car and furnature wax successfully. I find that even
saliva works in a pinch. That is obviously temporary, and I don't know it would stay in the scratch
if the CD is spun up to 40x. It has worked for me many times to real-time play a disk which
hung up on the scratch otherwise.
