I just found on a CD website a device called "CD stripper" which is used for opening CDs.
A picture of which is included in message No. 2, Jonathan. |

Of course, I could just delete my posting about the CD stripper and make everyone else look really stupid!  |

tonyb - yes. And any tips for avoiding snagging the booklet when you try to take it out?  |

I don't know why but something in my subconscious, put there by some hidden persuader perhaps, tells me that these people are excellent for all your preventive snagging needs and at very reasonable prices too. http://www.inspectorhome.co.uk/?gclid=CPaElfmYwI0CFQjllAod7DvKFg Don't delay, get snagging today. |

Funny you should say that, Ron, because I got a new Nancarrow CD through the post this morning and I can't get into the damn thing. Am I alone in finding the wrapping on CDs impossible to break through? Why, oh why, do manufacturers do this?
I should add that I am by profession a Seedy Stripper and, as part of my act, for reasons I need not go into here, I have developed enormously strong thumb nails. If I can't do it, how on earth can the ordinary man in the street be expected to?
Does anyone have anyone have any tips on how to get into the damn things?

O.K., a real bug-bear of mine. Those labels/seals stuck on the top edge and over the top front and back of new CD packages these days. Now they really are a problem to remove without leaving sticky deposits behind, and Hell, they don't even seal a jewel case in the first place. All you need to do is pop the bottom hinge out of its socket and youhave access to the CD inside.  |

A very good point GG. I know I'm not the only person here with a few(?) CDs still imprisoned in their wrappings: don't the manufacturers realise that the presence of these on my shelves is not only a source of guilt to me, but also a fulcrum point for blackmail from other members of the family ('What do you need to go ordering more for? You haven't listened to those you've got already?' or 'Do you think you're Methusaleh? Because you'll have to live that long to listen to them all!'). Hardly conducive to the purchase of further goodies. No wonder CD sales are declining. |

Today we purchased a number of Compact Discs which purported to contain recordings of some first-rate music, as well as some by composers of the American race. Imagine our discomfiture on returning to our modest but elegant pile to find that their boxes were coated in some diaphanous variety of "plastic" substance which we have so far found impossible to remove. Naturally we then thought that some upstanding Member might already have come to an understanding of this strange phenomenon, but our searches were as fruitless as a starving bat. We should be grateful therefore if one of the present august company could suggest a way in which we might insinuate ourselves within said carapace in order to taste deeply of the musical morsels which we hope are secreted therein.
