Default diminished performance from CD player

Hi, the CD player in the trunk of my '98 XJ8 VDP does not play very well anymore. songs are constantly stopped and sometimes they come back on and other times i just give up and switch over to FM radio. I found that popping the six CD changer out and putting it back in used to fix the problem but this quick fix doesn;t seem to be as effective anymore. i thought the problem might happen just when i'm driving particularly over rough roads but other day it happened while idling. is it just a matter of cleaning the unit and if so how is that done. i'm thinking of putting a vacuum to the player unit that the changer slides into to see if that might help it. I removed the changer and all the discs and cleaned it with no improvement.
