Crackly Cd Player Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

So I have the Tape, CD, Radio stock set up in my car. in September it went crackly then when i changed cds it wouldnt play. so ive tried a few times a week since and it wouldnt work. today I gave it another try since I hadnt been in my car for 5 days and started pressing the next track button really hard and it suddenly worked but its crackly sounding and its not my speakers cuz ive had the radio on and it doesnt make the same noise. So whats the issue? lose wire somehwere?? just a crapping out cd player?

Thanks

the lens probably needs to get cleaned

so i bought one of those cleaning kits for cd players and it still does it

i ended up buying a tape adapter for my ipod and it seems to not have a crackly noise when its played..whats up with my cd player??

in time, cd players will tend to die out... maybe it's time to go aftermarket, or just hit up e-bay and get another stock one. just make sure the rear connectors are the same.
