Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.

Yeah it may be better than digital. But come on. 3K+ for a cartridge. Cleaning machines. Preamps. VTA adjustments. noisy records. expensive software. By the time you get it all set up you are ready to just turn on the tv and watch Sportscenter. Is there any alternative?

Does this mean you were reading about it, and could not distinguish it from other substances, or that you used some and could not distinguish it from other substances?

What other substances specifically?

BTW, I am certain Shine-Ola is a repackaging of some kind, but of what I do not know. It has no odor I could detect, which leads me to believe it contains no alcohol.

I was pretty happy with the eyeglass cleaner intended for polycarbonate lenses.

I really question the need to clean CDs.

I agree with you. However my personal experience with CD rot did leave my faith in the robustness of CD's slightly shaken. (CD rot is pitting damage occuring on the silver CD layer of a badly manufactured disc which corrodes from the inside over ten years (below the lacquer surface)

What struck me as very odd was that the affected CD still played without skipping but with audible distorting scratchy noise (no skips)...so much for error correction! I must emphasize that this was one CD out of thousands - so this is by no means indicative of CD's in general. However, I was expecting a bad CD to NOT play at all!!!
