If you smoke you can use the ashes from a cigarette or cigar to gently clean the cd. Ashes are one of the cleanest things in the world (the military teaches POW's to clean their teeth with them if no toothpaste is available), and by wiping from the inside to out in strokes you also fill in the scratches for better listening.
