Reply: (edit)Buy a CD-ROM cleaner. It looks like a CD and you can find em at Walmart, walgreens, computer stores, and I even seen one in a gas station before. But, since you're only having problems with a few CD's, I'd say the more likely culprit is dirty/scratched up disks. Handle your disks with better care.

Reply: (edit)Sometimes the cheapo cleaners do not help. Then you have to open up the cd and blow out any muck with a hairdryer set to maximum blow and cold and wipe the lens with a lint free cloth. *DO NOT* run cd with the cover off as laser light is involved and your cat could end up full of holes! Good luck - keep us posted.
