back up a bad scratched cd

[murderous]

i have a buddy who wants me to back up a old country cd of his.
problem is its scratched to hell and i tried to copy it with easy cd da extractor and it just kept giving me errors, i tried bad cd repair pro which didnt help either.
is there anything i can do to back it up or not.

thanks but do any cd repair programs work

i hade an audio cd a while ago with some scratches not deep ones.

i ran isobuster and it extracted everything

Isobuster will extract the data and if it comes across a bit cant read it will give you the option of ignoring it.

However if the cd is badly scratched you will end up with a file of music with bits cut out all over the place that will hardly be listenable.........(although some would say that Country music is like that anyway )

i cant stop laughing now

ok thanks isobuster worked thanks.
tell me about it i have to listen to the junk briefly to see if it worked.
tho he claims jimmy buffet to be more hawian and not country, sounds like junk to me, then maybe cos i dont find my sister attractive.
back on topic thanks guys.

Cool.

Isobuster is always worth a bash when u have a hard to read cd or dvd.

I only have the freebie version and I believe the full version has better udf format support.

Maybe you should post a pic of your sister.

[murderous]

yeah i have the full version.

and no.
too many 13 year olds around these days

[ricardouk]

glad it worked

[murderous]

yeah thanks for the help mate
