I bought (online) a copy of Roxio Easy CD/DVD Creator because it came
with the SkipDr and I can report that it worked quite well.  I suggest
that you give it a spin (ha!) on a CD you don't care about for the first
try.  From there on, mine didn't deem so abrasive and still worked well
on those pesky scratchable CDs.

At least of vinyl, a scratch didn't stop them from playing like happens
on some CDs.  But then you had the surface noise etc...........
