Yes, i would like to know as well, I have a couple warped records. I can still spin them no problem but at times they can be a pain in the ass

me too. one time I baught a vinyl, it seemed fine at the store, but when I got home it was warped inwards in the center. so it doesnt sit flat on my platter. its alright, but skips more easily

I put one in the freezer once and it went back to its original state.

But wont it lose its quality and other stuff? :\

a bit..but not to much..just dont let it get hot while u have it under books..keep the AC low or something.
but why would u be concerned with quality when the record is pretty much un spinable

In my experience, fixing a warped record rarely, if ever, works. It's probably best to just learn to manipulate the record more delicately so that it doesn't skip while cueing.
