I am not saying otherwise, I was just not aware of the fact that we were talking about CD's with more then one hole in it And I am not sure if working in a CD pressing plant would actually help at all...
Everything you said so far get me to to the conclusion that no matter if we play our CD's through a CDP or rip them using a PC we are getting BS anyway.

What would your suggestion for the TO be?
