How do you fix an ''out of print'' scratched CD ?

I don't know how it could of happened but one of my favorite CD's is skipping and from the looks of it has a scratch on it !!!! No, it's not the equipment...but is there any after market stuff that could fix this ????? This is out of print and I really like this disc.....''The Best of the Band'' .....on Capital.

EAC works...resurrected my fave Dave Lindly CD which had horrible digital skipping on two tracks; the clone is better than the original. EAC is tops; it is used by live taper types for mastering their recordings, too.

EAC is Exact Audio Copy. A software program for copying discs. It is freeware as far as I know. It works great, too.
You might also try Auric Illuminator. I've had good luck with it. Polish the disc and it may play perfectly, or at least better.

I may be wrong on this, but wasn't The Band's material recently remastered, inluding "The Best Of?"
