CD cleaning question

Dust should not be a problem since CDP error corrects scratches up to 4mm along the track. Bringing dust inside CDP is bad but wiping CD too often with dry cloth is not good either. When wiping use radial motion to avoid making micro-scratches along the track.

I just bought the Bryston BDP-1 digital player and I started ripping all my cd's in AIFF on to external UBS Mypassport Studio 1TB.
While I was ripping cd's ,opening jewel cases I cale across this note:

In the Compact Disc Audio System,digital playback combined with laser optics produces the most accurate sound reproduction possible.For best results,the Compact Disc should be stored in a vertical position to prevent warpage,and should not be exposed to direct sunlight,heat or humidity for a prolonged period of time.
Always handle the disc by it's edges to avoid surface scratches,accumulation of foreign substances,etc.
To clean,wipe the disc (in a straight line,from center to edge) with a soft,dry,lint-free cloth.
Do not use solvents,abrasives or record cleaners unless specifically indicated for use on Compact Discs.

The cd is CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL CHRONICLES VOLUME 2.

If you are concerned about a few bits of dust, use a fine brush like the type made for camera lenses. That should work well for you.

Agree with Zd542, Keep your CDs clean. Dust, finger prints and scratches degrade the sound quality.
