OK.

Choose this URL for the illustration:

free translation:

Look for  the 2mm line/gap on the back side of the CD.
Cover the gab and part of the outermost track (the one containing bogus
data) with a marker pen without touching the last audio track. Use a ruler.

Try out. If it doesn´t work, the drawn line might not cover the whole gap,
or it might touch the audio area. It´s a matter of 1/10ths of a millimeter.
Wipe away the "pro-copy-bar" and correct.

There´s another method using self-adhesive stickers, but I think the marker
method ist easier and less dangerous (imagine the sticker blocking the CD
drive)

Please tell me if it works. I can´t try it out, because I own no Celine
Dion-CDs or similar ;-)

Yours

Tobias
