demagnitizing CD s?

first thing ya gotta do is buy some cd's with ferrites or other magnetic material to demagnitize. once you've found some of those, post me an email and i'll send you, FREE, the secret code ring you'll need to continue with the process ($49.99, shipping and handling).

I have heard that demagnetizing CD's can help. I do not have any experience with this, but do not find it impossible to believe that the material (aluminum?) that the CD metal layer is formed from could not contain microscopic particles of magnetic material. For the CD to be 100% pure, probably would not be cost effective. As far as procedures, I guess experiment with it. On tape, you turn the demagnetizer on, come in close contact, circle the tape for 3 or 4 seconds, and slowly withdraw (two or three feet away), before turning off. The idea being that the stray demagnetizing field will collapse back onto the tape and add noise if you turn it off too close. I do know that using this procedure works with reel to reel and cassette tapes, as far as CD's, what can it hurt to try? Let us know if it worked.

I own both radio shack demag unit and bedini II, and the bedini II is better IMO. However I rarely use either unit
now as I have become less convinced over time that they make
a noticable improvement. Just follow instructions with RS
unit as Albert above describes, substituting CD for tape.
Good luck.

ok, let's assume the aluminum core of a cd has microscopic ferrites in the material. how do such impurities affect the manner by which the disc is read? more importantly, what effect does "demagnitizing" have on these impurities? i don't have the answers to these questions, so i'd love to hear from someone who does.
