a good few years ago you
could buy "ring" thingy's that went around the edge of a cd (stuck to
the top), which reduced vibration. I have one on my copy of Brothers
In Arms, and it does improve the quality."


As long as the "thingy" is of sufficient thickness to prevent the disc
from rotating in the drive ... this will *definitely* improve the
sound of any Dire Straits album :-)

Oi! I quite like Dire Straits! In fact I found out something quite strange
about Dire Straits' "Unique" sound....

Whilst on the phone to orange with dire straits playing in the background, i
noticed that without pressing any buttons on my phoone, i was getting put
through to different departments... It turns out that Dire Straits' guitar
sounds very similar to DTMF tone signals...

Private Investigations got me through to the roaming department without
pressing a button. Random.
