A black "Markie" marker works as well and are cheaper, washes off with
isoprobyl alcohol, too. I found that drawing a 360 degree spiral from
inner to outer edge let me advance to the skipping section of any peice of
"data" on the CD. I used to use a 1-beam cd player (circa 1986) so that
the loops would "organically" wander around different parts of the CD.
Newer CD players usually get stuck in a loop and stay there indefinitely.
