Why should a perfectly good cd, skip a beat ?

Anyone know how it is that i can have a cd play perfectly one time, put it away then take it off the rack one month latter, and find that it skips ? This happens every now and then. Most recently with a Luther Johnson cd on the Telarc lable. Not to sound really stupid, but can skin oils screw up the plastic on a cd ?

How best to clean them when they do skip?
Thanks...

Use warm water and dish soap WITHOUT any type of "skin softening agent" ( oils or creams ) to remove surface dirt and oils from CD's. Make sure that you rinse thoroughly and blot them dry using a soft cloth. Wiping them dry can mar the surface and you end up doing more damage than good. Sean

Lazarus, you mean that CD's are just as susceptible to acoustic feedback / vibrations as "junky old analogue" is ??? : ) Sean
