My CD player seems to be skipping lately. It's not the discs as I have checked them for scratches. It's doing the skipping on new CDs as well. I can hear the CD player skipping, although the audio doesn't always skip. I know that traditional CD player cleaners aren't meant for slot-load CD drives, so how does one go cleaning a slot load cd player?

I have an electric Duster unit that has some smaller nozzles (a hair dryer should work too) and I am going to see about blowing the dust out of the slot.
