Possible to fix a CD that skips?
I checked the CD and it looks scratch free. Besides I always keep my CDs in their cases/sleeves when not listening to them.
Other than scratches, what causes a CD to skip anyway? I did attempt to play this CD on my laptop and in my car and got the same results and when I ripped it, there was still skipping. Is this CD a lost cause?

I have used a Skip Doctor and, except in the cases of pretty deep gouges, it has repaired both audio CDs and DVDs, as well as PS2 games.

Did it ever work properly, or has it skipped since you got it?
If there are no visible scratches/smudges on the shiny surface, you may have label side damage - if there is a scratch or chip on the paint of the label, it may have also scratched the silver backing from that side. Unfortunately, that's completely irreparable. For (even fairly deep) scratches, I've had good luck with the "Skip Dr." line of products - they polish down the polycarbonate layer to minimize the scratches so the laser can get a clean read. This site has some more helpful info on different types of disk damage.
