I play with a lot of tracks on CD's. I've been having trouble with them starting to skip, or won't play selected tracks. I've been using a Radio Shack unit. Need advice on a new purchase. Thanks in advance!

Try a CD cleaner first. It's a special CD with a small brush on it that will clean the heads as it plays. They should be available at any electronics store, even Radio Shack.

Good suggestion, but my experience is that the cleaner CDs don't work so well. The best thing I have done is to get a cotton swab and put some isopropyl alcohol on it and clean the laser lens with that. If that doesn't do it, there may be dirt or a malfunction in the laser head transport mechanism which means a trip to the repair shop if the unit is worth it. The swab thing has yet to fail me, though! Hope that helps. - Roger

Idea for you.
Get an MP3 jukebox instead! Ripp the CD once to disc and then have instant access to all your tracks just like a CD - save's your CD's

Perhaps that Nomad Jukebox, or the new Nomad MuVo - USB sticks into the PC. Get some MP3 software like MusicMatch and your set.

I use a mp3 jukebox thingy - and man - for practice, rehearsal what ever - it's great, great, great.
