I had a disc that had a nasty radial scratch on it that caused 3 songs to fail EAC ripping. I had got the CD for half of what it normally cost (high dollar CD), so I wasn't totally surprised when it arrived. I got a JFJ Easy Pro which promises to be able to fix scratched discs. For polishing CD's th...

And if so, will this show up in the frequency content of a recording? I decided to try it out. And unfortunately, at best I saw no disce...

Yep! Just put your 45 adaptor on the rod. Place the album on the spindle. Remove the adaptor and then put the label protector and clamp it together. The grooves on a 45 and 33 end at about the same physical distance from the center of the disc (in my experience so far). So you can even use the same ...

I have a generic ultrasonic machine with a 10L tank. It's a little deeper (front to back) than the more popular 6.5L size. The tank size is 300x240x150 (in millimeters). This means there is normally unused space in front of the record holder. This is an extension using common hardware parts to allow...

When looking for a way to store CD's I didn't want on the main shelf, I kept finding aspects I didn't like about commercially available products. Characteristics I was looking for The CD's must stand on the spine, so that I can read them while in the box. One single row of CD's per box Must be able ...

Stickers can be very tricky. Sometimes they are too old and too dried out to safely remove. But here is a trick that should be safe to paper and can remove stubborn and dried out stickers. Apply some Goo Gone to the paper of the sticker. Also apply some to the edges to let the Goo Gone start penetra...
