Sometimes it's well necessary, vomit, alcohol and other
spills tend to ruin the overall listening experience.

it's ok, none ever had some weird liquids on them : )

they're just a little bit dusty sometimes - like pretty much
everything in my room. i was just wondering because i've
heard it could be a cause of cd players skipping.

HINT:

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive that can be used to buff out
minor scratches on cds. Try it, it works (not on cdr's
though).

discs should never be cleaned in a circular motion. you
must wipe from the centre outwards. you must do this because
of the grain of the cd, it is similar to an but more
delicate.

correction: 'it is similar to an LP'

yes there is a small paragraph about The Compact Disc
Digital Adio system, and how amazing cd's are and how to
care for them in my copy of Jean Michel-Jarre's Equnioxe.

" For the best results, you should apply the same care in
storing you Compact Disk as with conventional records."
