Indeed, I've heard this as well. However, I had a bunch of CDRs that had
archived stuff from 1997 up till 2003. In 2003 I bought a DVD recorder,
and transferred all the CDRs to DVD. I remember only 2 discs having
problems, and one was rather scratched up. But then again, I had 2

So this is done in pencil (or pen!) and you get the physical pieces
