Skipping vs. Drop Outs not "High School "

Your CD player should have YEARS left in it. Like Bob mentioned, i would first try cleaning the lens and see if it helps. It also helps to inspect discs before putting them inside the player, as putting dirty / dusty discs inside the machine can only speed up the accumulation of "gunk" on the lense to begin with. Sean

Thanks all for the great advice!!!

As a person that worked at a cd pressing plant for 5 years I know a little about cds and I have to say that when I worked there we played some cds that looked liked crap ( scratched , damaged , injection faults )and they all played fine . I think your problem is definitely the player . I have Toshiba DVD player and it never skipped on a cd but it does have some dropout problems with playing movies . I have been doing a little research and I have found that they say Panasonic players have a good reputation for being able to handle problem discs . My advice to you buy a better player and if anyone else reading this please contact me if you have any more info on a great DVD player . JB

hey JB, since we've got you here, can i ask you a question ? Good and thanks : )

What do they use to "seal" CD's ? If you look at the edges of them, it almost looks like they put some type of varnish or lacquer type material on them. Sean
