Seeking advise/your experience with wanting a to handle CDs/records without damaging them?

I hope you have not had this problem, but I would guess some have. For all time I have had problems with how "others" handle my music collection. Records are more delicate and CDs are not "perfect sound forever". Scratches, glazed donut covered fingers and the like will, and do, cause problems.

My recent experience is with a child’s mate and CDs......and yes, I now have CDs that skip/miss track and more. In looking at these disks, it is all too clear to see the problems, including food residue..........."exasperated sigh"

That headline should be "wanting others".....cannot go back and correct headlines....dang.
