DRM was used on some CD's back in the 90's, perhaps up to 2003? Sony mostly and it isn't used anymore on CD's, of course iTunes still uses DRM.
Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot)
I have several early CD's (1984 to 86) with pinholes and some pitting on the label side. Mostly German pressings, many made by PDO. They all have played fine until I bought some early discs with the silver mould area. Pinholes in the center ring cause disks to spin loudly in the transport and sometimes cause read errors.
I've read about the deterioration of CD's; haven't seen any with discolouration (CD rot). Is there anyway to preserve the many CD's in my collection so that discs will continue to play?
And please don't suggest that I give up and burn the discs to a server. I like the physical medium and many of my discs are collectables.

Anybody have experience using a CD mat such as this... https://www.musicdirect.com/vibration-control/millennium-carbon-fiber-cd-mat My damaged CDs play fine thru my PS Audio PWT since it corrects read errors. The discs that wont play have the pinholes in the silver center ring. |
I have no experience with this program myself, but this receives mention in computer audio forums as an alternative to toast at a lower cost ($32.00.) Toast is on sale for $70 at present. I'd used Toast quite a bit with good results in the past. http://www.nticorp.com/NTI-Dragon-Burn-4.html |
