Depends on how, and if you play it. Shelf life is longer than CDs,
most CDs start degrading after a few years.
Does USB limit the bandwidth? Dont see any other reason for a

Make sure all your pieces are fitting together. You need to a) rip music off
vinyl, b) save it in a format that you will be able to burn on CDs, c)
