I've seen a similar thing happen with CDs.


So I guess that *does* make vinyl superior in the end, whereas such a
scratch would cause a "click" at most, and nowhere near anything on
the order of 30 min of missed music.


I have *never* seen a similar thing happen with CDs, and I've been
collecting them since 1983. OTOH, I possess no vinyl which does not
have the ocasional click or pop (even though the vast majority of them
have no visible scratches).

OTOH, I *have* experienced such problems with DVDs, although
admittedly I have an old player (Pioneer DV-515). Finally, we write
CD-Rs at work for archiving financial data, and out of around fifteen
thousand that we have produced in the past three years, not one single
disc has shown *any* defects on bit-for-bit file comparisons with the
parallel tape archive.
