Subject: On CD media longevity
Hi!
Some 8 years ago I converted some of my CDs to MP3 and burned them onto
CDs for sake of listening away from home, etc. Today finally one of these
CDs bit the dust. It is marked "Feb 2002" so that it is likely almost
exactly 8 years old. Since the time it's been burned, it was stored on the
shelf, used in my office, thrown around at least two company cars(*) that
had MP3 capable CD player, etc. Pretty tough little fellow, that CD was...
It is worth mentioning here that it was made by Verbatim and has very
noble and very deep bluish tint with so many a scratch on its working
surface...
I lost a bunch of files because of a Verbatim discs from the same era just
don't seem to be particularly stable.
