Is there any solution to this problem?
There are several myths to recover a scratched CD or DVD. One of the most popular claims that smearing a little toothpaste on the surface of the disc and gently rubbing it with a very delicate cloth (never toilet paper) will fix those annoying compact disc imperfections.
