RE: So what's the deal with CD demagnetizers?

Posted by geoffkait on January 30, 2016 at 02:43:43:
"I did not know that aluminum was magnetic?"
It's not. Nobody said it was. Didn't you read my post? What I suggest is that there could be traces of ferrous elements in the aluminum or in the ink on the label. I'm giving the proponents of demagnetizing the benefit of the doubt. In other words, I'm questioning the CD demagnetizing, not supporting it. Hel-loo! What I'm saying is, even if there are trace elements the magnetic field thus produced would be too weak to explain the results obtained by demagnetization and therefore the whole demagnetizing of CDs thing is a mystery.
