Hi! I would like to join and make some contribution to the site. Thanks!

I also want to ask a few questions here:
1. If a mixed-mode cd has scratches that damaged audio quality, is there any way to fix it? Can I submit it?

2. DIC doesn't support some of the protected discs yet, but it seems still acceptable using DIC to dump and submit those discs? I wonder why.

1. In most of the cases, NO. Unless you can resurface the disc.

2. Do you have any examples that show it?

Thanks for the invitation!

DIC doesn't support securom or starforce etc, right? But there are still new submissions of them, I just want to be sure it's still ok to dump using DIC so I can submit mine without worry.
