Best way to clean retail audio CD
I have a few retail audio CD's and when played on hi-fi they skip a little
bit, I was wondering what would be a good way to repair this issue, I have heard of all the old stuff like toothpaste but don't fancy that is there something I could use in the home that would work for sure or maybe buy something to get rid of what ever is causing the skipping |

Best way to clean retail audio CD
Just save the songs as .wav files then burn them onto a blank cd as an audio
disk in disc at once format.

Won't help if the disk is already skipping. One needs a for-one-reading-session repair before "saving". I found that using some transparent hand lotion (I used aloe vera ;-) to fill the scratches works wonders. (Of course, one should remove all the excesses by wiping in radial direction. And just in case, I was using an old CD drive in case the drops of lotion get in a bad place... BTW, I got no problem afterwards.) Ilya |

Best way to clean retail audio CD
As said check the laser lens for dust build up.... *use only* a dry cotton bud. If it's the CDs, try them on another unit to make sure. If faulty follow these links-: 'Use toothpaste' (http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-re...hpaste-218847/) and 'this link.' (http://lifehackery.com/2008/07/14/gadgetry/) The information is written between the top label and the 'inner surface, the label inner is silvered and acts as a reflector for the laser beam, a scratch label could also impair the playability. If ever cleaning a cd or DVD *do not use a circular motion*, this will add more scratches! It could also be a sign that the laser block requires replacement, the item may be cheap or may be quite expensive to obtain, depending on the model number. davy |
