    Corey,

    I've found that if there are scratches that penetrate through to the
other side so that the lazer's light cuts right through you'll get skipping
as well get stuck. If you take a dark marker and block up the holes on the
label side so that no light can get through this will work. If you hold the
CD up to a light you can usually see the light come through to the other
side. A good cleaning with a mild soap and water will sometimes do the trick

if you have finger prints. Any heavy duty scratches you can forget about
unless
someone knows about some miracle fix-it. M T C
