In Reply to: to demagnetize your CD posted by audio.feel@caramail.com on March 8, 2005 at 05:33:25:
CDs are optical devices, not magnetic devices. There are no magnetically sensitive components in the CD itself or in the critical elements of the cd player. The CD is made of plastic and aluminum neither of which have any magnetic properties. Furthermore, magnetism cannot affect the reading of the pits which generate the digital signal in the aluminum below the surface of the plastic.
