I'm just wondering what everyone does with ruined, no good cd's. Ya know the ones that screw up when you try to burn one? Do you just toss them out? Is there something special your supposed to do with them?

I'm just wondering because I have a ton of them just lying around and I dont know what to do with them.

Take an old CD or CD-R and put it in the oven, standing up. Put it against a glass cup or so. Don't use any metal as a holder.
