Default Tips for removing glue from a CD?

So I was gluing all of my CD's together in a wacky modern art project when I suddenly had a change of heart....

But seriously, I brought my 10000 Days CD (TOOL) in from my truck after weeks of constant play so that I could use my PC to copy it to my MP3 player. Anyone who has the CD knows that it doesn't come in the traditional jewel case, but one of the newer packaging schemes. As I'm sliding the CD out of the paper sleeve inside I notice a piece of that sticky glue that is used to adhere virtually everything in packaging these days has lodged itself across the edge of the CD, reaching onto both sides. I removed it from the painted side with no problem, but it was stubborn as hell on the business side. Needless to say, it is now spread around about a square inch of the CD.

I tried water first, then windex. No progress. Anyone have any suggestions?

Worst case I'll go buy another. It's not like this particular CD isn't worth the $25 US it would cost for two.
