Fingerprints on discs is very `off-putting`to say the least. My enjoyment of the music almost automatically get reduced because of it. I get a lot less `lust` to put this kind of disc into my tray. (When I buy new CDs it will forever stay in a near mint `condition` because I take good care of my music, pride and pleasure is a good combo for CDs.) Thank you and all the best, Snorre Fjær.
