cd skipping

have you a lens cleaner?

sorry for the shouting text, I cannot paste links, and when I grab titles, it comes in huge

Arsvita CD Laser Lens Cleaner Disc Cleaning Set for CD/VCD/DVD Player, Safe and Effective

The laser’s do get dirty and/or weak, how consistently does it load/read the disc before you hit play? after you try to clean it and get lucky: weak lasers have trouble reading discs prior to play.

thanks, i did use my friends older sony and it did not skip, hopefully it is the laser

Laser cleaner disc.

@marley119  ...yeah, if a tlc of cleaning doesn't do it, a new prosthetic for the player.

I do have a cd that skips in an unusual fashion.....
Got it as a handout @ a HOU alt street fair & fare....

Handout sampler of local bands...5 or 6, But it's the 2nd from last will getcha'..🤨
Starts 'n runs like Claptons' "Cocaine"; rambling' on, repetitively with minor 'tweaks'
suddenlywithnary a blip
backs up, say, @ 1:04 within a previous repetition....
This cycle will begin to repeat this, with variations in the 'lift' & 'land' spots

Has been known to repeat this activity for as long as you don't notice it....

Popped into a player after the event/party/?! has been going on distracted.....which got turned down awhile ago....

Eventually, someone will notice that song has been going on way too long...

How you explain that is up to you.... *G*
