Hi Friends!
I thought id share a little fix i discovered with my ever skipping dawnsong cd.They were not meant to be exposed to the elements and as a result they end up scratched over time and start to skip.Well having this cd playing day and night all spring is hard enough,but when it starts skipping and one has to reset it every ten minutes,lets just say it wears thin real fast.I tried toothpaste,vodka,rubbing alcohol and every other thing mentioned on youtube to try to remove the scratches with no luck.Just load the files on your laptop and load the three files onto a thumbdrive.They will play flawlessly and never scratch.They now sell portable players with ipod or usb ports built in.i hope this has helped someone.

Hey Barry, can you give me some more information on the portable players that you mentioned, I would like to pass this information along to the members of our club in Wisconsin, the Eastern Wisconsin Purple martin Association EWPMA, that are trying to attract their first pair.
