Nifty little do-hickies

Check these things out if you haven't seen them already. http://www.d-skin.com/home.html

Kept seeing the commericals for them and I'm always on the look out for ways to protect our CDs and DVDs at work. Library patrons absolutely brutalize discs. It's the strangest phenomenon. A brand new DVD or music CD will go out and within 3 circulations the thing already has wicked scratches and stains that boggle the mind.

I tried out a couple of them already. One I put on a music CD and the other on a DVD. Both ran perfectly fine and with no noticable distortion in playback. You do have to make sure the disc is clean before you pop one of those suckers on. The only thing I haven't checked yet is whether or not a CD with existing scratches will work properly. ::runs off to test::

Gah, have some of these, and they won't work in my laptop or car... :( If they work for you, you're more than welcome to mine. ^_^;

I've also seen similar do-hickies that are static cling and can be removed with tape...hmm. 8)

I know what you mean about them not working in certain situations. I thought they might not work in my computer, the silly thing is so sensative that it can't read half my CDs. Other than that all of my disc based equipment is older tray loaders.

I'm not sure about the static ones, I'll have to look around.
