The Best Bet
In the vinyl era, music buffs lovingly preserved their records inside anti-static plastic sleeves. Supposedly indestructible CDs were meant to put an end to
such measures, until we found out that a single scratch can cause endless skipping—or demolish backed-up data.
If you haven’t yet made the switch to MP3s, the modern equivalent of the anti-static sleeve is the CDefender, a protective piece of plastic that attaches to the shiny data
side of a CD (there’s a DVD version, too). Because it’s made from the same material as the disc itself, the coating never has to be removed.
And better yet, it can even cover existing scratches.
