I have used the Maxell CD-340 on my computers' CD/DVD drives and it performs on windows 7 home premium and ubuntu 12.04. First it plays instructions which tell you to play band 2 [it was called "cleaning" on Windows Media Player] for at least 20-sec.I had first tried the Maxell disk cleaner from walmart and could not get either computer to recognize it. I kept getting messages telling me to insert a disk even though the Maxell disk was inserted.I hope this helps.Ficus

The CD 340 gives instructions on the disc. Then you play through the cleaning track. It took using the cleaning disc two times to fix my problem but it did.

On this one you have to set it to a specific track (I think it was 3) and it plays a beep while it's doing it's thing. You let it run for the specified period of time (30 seconds as I recall) and that's it. Most of these aren't made for car cd players but I did use it for that purpose.

It will not clean the disc. Designed for the player only. I found a blu-ray player cleaner at the local mega store. Need to read all the fine print. i used the Digital Innovations on my standard CD player that skips. It didnt help at all!

Hi Jacqueline. Well I had the same problem as well! Actually bought two of them. It was the first time I bought used/very good as I usually buy new. I would say that's why it doesn't work. Don't know all the details obviously but, hey, it doesn't work and that's all that matters. See about getting your $ back and buy NEW. Good luck!

Actually, that is why I returned it an got one with a CD player. At first, I thought that I could just place my CD's into Itunes, and then put them onto an SD card and it would work the same. However, they needed to be transferred from the new mp4 format to mp3. When that was all said and done, it didnt even work. So, I do not know honestly, as I was so frustrated by reading that they wanted me to buy all of their SD cards and I wasnt having any luck. I would recommend just returning it and getting one with a CD player, or if you have an ipod or iphone-burn your CD's into Itunes and then sync them to your device so that you can play them from that.

It did not work in my car CD player. My player stopped working from something sticky on a disc. I got this product in the hope of a cheaper fix, and for my problem it did not work.

It's a long shot but try the Maxell CD Lens cleaner. It brought my car's player back from the dead. And it's less than $10!

This product stopped working just after the time allowed to return to Amazon. I was advised to call the manufacture, which I did. Only to be told that since I didn't buy it from an authorized dealer it would not be covered under warranty. If you haven't purchased this yet consider going to a Wal-Mart type store. Then when it enviably stops working WalMart may be able to help or at least it would be covered under the manufacture warranty. Good Luck

Supposedly. However, I just threw away a brand new cd that Novus 7100 #2 scratched up. The only reason I tried to use this was that the deck in my car caused a several abrasive marks on the cd. I used the product as stated. Shake very well and test on small patch. Seemed to do okay so I proceeded. I used a brand new, clean microfiber cloth. I noticed as I was polishing/buffing the surface with the #2 liquid, micro swirls were created. Fortunately, I ripped the disc to my computer prior to trying this, so now I'm burning a new MAM-R Gold Archival CD which hopefully my rip was good. So if you are determined to use this stuff, make a clean copy off the disc you are going to clean. Supposedly. However, I just threw away a brand new cd that Novus 7100 #2 scratched up.

My mother in law just ordered this for Christmas and had the same problem. The CD part only worked half the time. So we sent it back. Good luck!

Hi YT, I just ran it in my DVD player in the living room and my MultiMedia Optical Drive in my computer. (that's a combo of CD & DVD player) In either case, I did NOT have to push PLAY, it automatically starts and gives instructions in English then in French and Spanish. It will explain how it cleans and then it will tell you to advance to Section 6 which is when it will start it's process. Doesn't take long at all. The directions are also printed on the back of the box it comes in. It basically says: Insert the CleanDr.Laser Lens Cleaner into the system with the graphics side up and the disc should automatically play. Follow the quick and easy voice instructions. That's all to it. No need to push play. Also says: Do not use on Blu-ray or Playstation 3 systems! Make sure you are inserting this disc with the GRAPHICS side UP !!!! :-) Hope this helps.

There is most likely a problem with your radio. I own the same one and all my CDs work perfectly the only time I may have this problem is if the cd is scratched. So, befor buying a new radio check the condition of the cd your playing. If the problem continues id just buy a new one. Wish you luck

I think it depends on the CD player, in my case Exomunt only touches the edge of the CD player and actually everything works normally (of course, must be previously inserted the CD and you must remove the mount each time you want to change the CD)

I do nothing to the disk until it does start skipping, or the player will not recognize the disc. When it comes to cleaning, I always start with the shortest spin time, and the least abrasive solution. Then look at the surface after a final cleaning. If still scratched, make another pass. So far, nothing has been too far gone to save.

I tend to agree with previous answer from Stu. What you could try with a household item, is alcohol. Other than that buy a disc cleaner. If you have many discs, it will not be a waste of money. Good luck with everything. If anythingthing actually worked, post it just to let us know. I have over a hundred CD's and information is good to have.
