My former DJ friend had so many CDs lying around that at one point he actually started taping them into stacks as a control mechanism - it just made them easier to deal with. We're talking the actual CDs here, not the cases. A lot of them have little sticky patches on the edges of the disc, from where the tape gunk stuck to the disc. Any chance tape gunk will gunk up my cd drives if I play these? [more inside]

My car CD player is driving me out of my mind! It skips like mad, but only when it is very very cold out. Today it is six degrees out and I couldn't get a single track to play straight through. It doesn't matter what the CD is, it doesn't seem to matter if the car is cold or warmed up, and the road condition doesn't seem to have an impact, as it does it while I'm at red lights, too. Is there a logical reason why this happens when it is at least ten degrees below freezing? More important, is there anything I can do about it?

[UK Music Insurance] I always felt that my record collection was too personal/horrible/crap for anyone to bother stealing it, but a friend of mine who lives just round the corner has had most of his collection pilfered so now I'm not so sure. While my collection doesn't include many items that are in themselves valuable, just the number of CD's and records would make them very expensive to replace. Any ideas on what insurance options are available?
