Disclaimer: I don't own a CD-ROM. 'Nuff said.

However, I do own the following, which I have used *successfully* on a
recalcitrant *AUDIO* CD player:

	Compact Disc Laser Lens Cleaner
	LLC-1
	AudioSource (r)
	1327 North Carolan Avenue
	Burlingame, CA 94010

To put it simply, it looks like a CD with a little brush on the underside.
I bought it in a record store.
