It's an Alpine headunit.. a little older (2 or 3 years old). This thing skips CD's just for fun.. I could be sitting in a parking lot and not moving and it'll skip every other minute as if there is a huge gouge in the CD itself. I've tried with brand new CD's as well.

Also it reads most CD-R's (not as MP3, but as standard CD) although it won't read others. Is this related?

Is there a fix for this? Maybe a lense cleaning? I've always read that those lense cleaners you get shouldn't be used in a car CD player.. but I have to do something.

Any help would be great.
