Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot)


I have several early CD's (1984 to 86) with pinholes and some pitting on the label side. Mostly German pressings, many made by PDO. They all have played fine until I bought some early discs with the silver mould area. Pinholes in the center ring cause disks to spin loudly in the transport and sometimes cause read errors.

I've read about the deterioration of CD's; haven't seen any with discolouration (CD rot). Is there anyway to preserve the many CD's in my collection so that discs will continue to play?
And please don't suggest that I give up and burn the discs to a server. I like the physical medium and many of my discs are collectables.

That's not the problem. Some software will not clone CD's that have certain region restrictions on them. I doubt it would be a problem with your audio CD's just something to be aware of if you can find  cloning software. 
If I am ripping my music to a hard drive I use dbpoweramp but when I want an exact copy of a CD I clone them. I also clone my hard drives as a backup.

Region restrictions are possible on DVDs, but I don't think that capability is part of the CD standard.
CloneCD and Nero are Windows only. Roxio Toast for Mac has been around a long time, but expensive.


DRM was used on some CD's back in the 90's, perhaps up to 2003? Sony mostly and it isn't used anymore on CD's, of course iTunes still uses DRM.
