How badly does it piss you off

How badly does it piss you off when ur playing a record and you find out there is a scratch on it. I found several of my records with scratches and im just really fuken pissed off.

how badly will it piss you off if you don't know about it and you play it and then notice it's scratched because it starts skipping!

I hate when you buy a record online and it ends being slightly warped and spins like a bastard on one side but grabs the platter really hard on the other. Its always the good side that spins like mad.

bend the side u wanna play a little bit (pulling the outside edge of the record in and the middle out) before playing,it grabs for a while when u do that (hopefully u get what im talking about and dont break the record ) hope it helps

yep, never fails. It's usually on your favorite parts too.

i'll be honest - i used a bad record to my advantage b4 in a DJ competition. i knew the record skipped during the outro for the song so i picked that one to finish on. next DJ started with a trainwreck

Or...

Put said record under a load of magazines, heavy objects / whatever for a few days.

Works for me.

I don't have any scratches on my records...or maybe it's because my needle is broken and I have to leave the weight on 100% all the time

I hate it when my mp3s have scratches in them. It sucks when I'm DJing live and trying to beatmatch and then it skips!@# OMG!!!
