Would this fix a scratched CD?

RE: Ellery's comments. That's why I use "shudder" cheap Disk Doctor. At $30, its worth it to fix an unplayable CD and also works on DVDs and computer CDs. If it doesn't work I buy a new one. So far, I have not noticed any impact on sound but have not done detailed AB tests (if in fact those are worth anything).

Thanks for all of the responses so far. I probably won't buy the thing for the reasons listed above, unless the urge to experiment gets the better of me.

Swampwalker:
Can you post a link to the product you use? The advanced Google search didn't narrow it down enough.

Md- Its called SkipDoctor. J&R has it for $25.

Why is it that I never experience a CD that skips? Exceptions are...

All CDs began to skip on my ten year old Mission CDP. I gave the CDP a decent burial.

I have have had a CD skip in my car when I hit a really bad bump in the road.

When CDs were first invented I had several with obvious defects when brand new. I returned them.

I have faith in the error correcting encoding of the digital data on the CD, so I NEVER clean them. I suspect that excessive cleaning may be a problem.

My present disc player is a Denon 2900 (Underwood Mod). I also have a Pioneer DV-45A, which presently plays mostly DVDV discs, and it also performs flawlessly. A Rotel CDP that I used in between the Mission and the Denon never had a problem.

Maybe I'm just lucky.
