_hi_water._ Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 don't ask why I made this thread... i used to have a Hemispheres 1997 Remastered CD that skipped on La Villa Strangiato at 3:20-3:25 and 4:12... but I replaced it with a new one. anyone else here who had/has a skipping CD/Vinyl?

Bahamas Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Why did you make this thread? I have had vinyl and many CDs skip a time or two. Who has not? Put a few pennies on the arm. It can help until you find a replacement. Me thinks you feel alone in this dilemma. But don't! There is not anything worse than a Deep Purple or Frank Zappa live vinyl record that suddenly sparks and reminds you that last time, the last time you played records...you were a bit careless. Just remember, media today is repeatable. You can always get another one. Hopefully :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_hi_water._ Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 I have a Van Halen CD (The Best of Both Worlds, Disc 2) that skips on a couple tracks. Track 12 - Right NowO-ne---- b-- y- o-ne--- (gets stuck) Track 15 - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love (Live)y----e---s! ------ a--h---hhh---- (gets stuck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamas Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Van Halen, sweet! Not a mention in my musical interests, but they were early days fun. Throwing frizz bees around and cranking the RCM70 on the front lawn and throwing discs, "Aint talking 'bout love!" Eruption? The beginning of You Really Got Me? Atomic Punk?!! If they are skipping, you are probably experiencing extra time signatures, unawares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 My Presto CD skips during the Pass and Available Light, which really bums me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 My 2011 HYF remaster skips starting with Prime Mover. I looked at the CD and its got two straight lines of something on the surface like a smudge but I don't know where these come from. It only goes from the cardboard sleeve into the CD player and I never touch the surfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 My friend said that sometimes the heat from an in dash CD player can separate the laminate off the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 My Snakes CD skips right from Far Cry to MalNar pretty much every time I play it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 my original copy of Draw the Line, had a unique skip in "I Wanna Know Why" where it skipped over the 2nd line "Feelin Mighty Slow" so it went "Kickin' Down The Road/With the Likes of You" but it sounded seamless. Oh and my cat's breath smells like cat food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 From the BBC. How streaming music could be harming the planet "The energy costs of listening to music [files] can depend on the format we choose, but surprisingly streaming is the most power hungry..." Is that really surprising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 In the mid 90s I was virtually homeless and broke.I lived in a one room hut and all I had apart from clothes was a boom box with mostly cassettes and about half a dozen CDs.I bought Counterparts new and literally played it to death.I still have it and if you look at it you would swear it would not play but it does perfectly.I also have the second vinyl album that I bought back when I was about 12yr in 74 which is Deep Purple Made in Japan.Played to death with worn out needles and surface scratches but still plays great with lots of atmosphere in them crackles.How I still have it is a wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
