thats what i thought. i personally don't need one since the laser is in plain sight, but i guess it helps with they tray-style CD players where the laser is hard to get to.

I have used one a few times... i don't see what difference it makes though... I think it's a bit of a placebo

It will bang the lens assembly around repeatedly.
It may clean the lens but I'd say there's a huge risk of damage to the lens suspension.

I wouldn't recommend using any of these cleaning CD's.

So my dad brought home a CD the other day and it has these two brushes on the bottom side so that when you play it, it dusts off the laser in your CD player. Before I went using it, I thought I would check and see if anyone had any thoughts about this. So does anyone think that the bristles will scratch the laser eye?
