People will believe anything. I remember the ones in the HiFi magazines
about putting a CD in the freezer to improve sound and also colouring the
edge in with a green pen!

Actually that trick with the green pen worked - on certain players...
tried it on a Technics SL-PG320 and it did actually sound better. No
difference with later Technics players though. The difference was fairly
tiny though, and certainly not worth the effort involved. Tried it more
out of curiosity than anything else.

The theory was that it would cut down the internal reflections in the
disc and therefore reduce the error rate. Sort of makes sense I guess.
But easier to just extract the tracks using EAC or cdparanoia and play
them off a hard disk - no jitter problems then either.
