Metal polish (Brasso if you're in the UK) works a treat!
Failing that, a disc doctor will also work - especially with deeper scratches.

Brasso is in the US as well, and works on iPods too.

If the CD is scratched, no amount of free software will be able to read the disk - if the laser is being diverted by the scratch, software won't be able to compensate.

Go out and by some Brasso

LOL never thought id type that word in here!

Takes a very thin layer of plastic off the read surface. Honestly the posts above are 100% correct as far as i am aware
