Try this: Take some rubbing alcahol and put it on a cotton ball. Rub it onto your CD in an up and down motion, then wipe it off with a small cloth. That usually clears up most problems I have with any CD's. Don't worry about it ruining your cd either, it won't. I have done it a million times. And besides, if it DID ruin it for some reason, it isn't like you are losing much anyway. I suggest you try that.
