Do you clean off the playing surface before each use? Many people do not, and the lens takes a beating.
The laser lens reads far closerthan even a tiny bit of invisible dust. The dust is like a boulder tothe gap.
So folks who never brush off the playingsurface get more problems.
I use a cosmetic blush brush and wipe off both sides of EVERY disc EVERY time before I play it.
I play CDs all day every day, and havenever had any failure other than capacitor problems.
The CDs/DVDs do not need to have anything you can even see to have dirt damaging the lens.
