CD SKIPS

[Marcabear]

Hello,
MY new cd skips in my portable cd player but not in my car. Other cd's play ok in the cd player just not this one.

Check the playing surface for defects and also hold the cd against a light to see if there's a scratch on the label side which lets light through.

It's not too surprising that a CD will work perfectly on one machine and skip on another -- there are variations in design and wear which mean that different decks perform differently.

This is a brand new cd. However, I cleaned the surface of my cd player with a q-tip and that worked so I quess it was my cd player. Thanks for your help.
