I just tried toothpaste and it just made more scratches. There are a lot of different kinds of polish: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=meguiar+car+polish&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Which one would be the finest grade? -

pionphil posted a question in Questions and Answers
Here he says get the car polish off in circular motion: However I've read other people saying not to do it in circular motion: "People, don't rub in circles. Discs are read in circles so by rubbing in circles you can just create more unreadable patches. Rub from the inside to the outside instead." a reply to above comment: "Correct but in a spiral not straight out" What does it mean to rub in spiral not straight out? User fas42 also said: "Definitely not circular!! ... Going from the centre to the edge of disc, back and forth, along a -

Does radially mean in a circular motion? For finishing car polish would the second one in this Amazon search result be ok? (called Meguiar's) https://www.amazon.com/s?k=high+gloss+finishing+polish&ref=nb_sb_noss -
Is there a way to know where in the track the error occurred while ripping
pionphil replied to pionphil's question in Questions and Answers
I wouldn't fuss about it if I can't hear it but my question was since I don't want to listen from beginning to finish to check whether or not I can hear or not, if there was a way of knowing where in the track the error occurred (I think I heard EAC lets you know where in the track the error occurred?) so that I could listen to that part only instead of listening from beginning to end. However I just tried EAC but can't find the Rip button to begin with and the button that says "get information from metada provider" threatens to delete all data in CD if I click on it. -
Without listening to the whole track from beginning to finish? I ask because sometimes even when it says there are errors, when I play it I can't hear any errors. So I basically want to know whenever a rip says 'inaccurate,' whether I can hear any noticeable corruptions in the track. If I can't hear any pop or obvious disruption I'm fine with it. I'm using dbpoweramp.

I have a Pioneer drive with Pure Read 3+
pionphil replied to pionphil's topic in Disk Storage / Music Library Storage
The best Drive (no errors) is pretty expensive at $250: (https://www.newegg.com/p/1B1-000G-00072 The 2nd best (13 errors, much better than Pioneer's 216 errors) is $30 but it's an internal drive: https://www.mydvddrives.com/matshita-dvd-ram-uj8e0-sata-cd-dvd-rw-drive-burner-writer-104937.html I was hoping to get an external, because I don't have a laptop with space for a drive or desktop, and it would be a hassle to install an internal one.
