the label side of a cd is a thin layer of aluminum the topside is painted to show the label.. the underside contains the information.
if the plastic bottom gets scratched.. no biggie.. buff it out..
but if the label side gets scratched.. you have garbage.
the first music track begins at the center of the cd. the last song is at the outer edge. the opposite of vinyl. sometimes if the outer section of a disc is scratched some of the begining songs will still play.

Man, you guys are gonna love this one.
On an old, I don't care about it, turntable..put the record on, you know where the scratch is, and everytime the scratch comes around press down on the headshell, plowing the 'I don't care about it needle' thru the scratch. Done it before, it works, record is usable. Sounds a bit different but it plays thru the scratch good on your better TT. But I sure wouldn't do it on an important LP. LOL But if the album has a deep bad scratch...what do you have to lose? The LP is shot and ruined anyway.
Still don't have the guts to do that to my deeply scratched 1985ish (made in Japan) Keith Richards 'collectors' double album that my wife scratched real deep on the song, ironically enough, "Shattered". U G H. Still pi$$ed on that one, and it happen years ago. Guess I'll never get over that. E v e r. Seen the album sell for $225.00 used and it was only the second time I ever played it, which just even makes me more very upset about the whole darn thing. Of all the albums I have, why did she have to mess that one up???????????????????

My fix is a shotgun and someone to throw the scratched record in the air. Fixes them every time!

When I was a kid we would do the "plow" method to overcome the skip. It sounded pretty bad in that section, but if you didn't mind riding the GE Wildcat through the obstruction, you could work it out.
I am always weirded out by the hardcore 45 collectors who polish scratched up discs because they are rare. They buff them shiny, and remove the grooves mostly. I guess they like them to look good if they can't ever sound good.
As far as the "vinyls," it is goofy sounding to me, but if the newcomer kids keep the clean lps that they stole from gramps out of the dumpster so I can buy them later, they can call them whatever they want.

I use Macquires plastic cleaner polish found in auto stores to polish cds with minor scratches. It works for plastic TT covers too.

Black discs you play on your vinyls player, which connects to your audio gears and makes sound out of your woogers. If they've been raccooned.
