I have some CD-R's that are ten years old at and play great and are played alot. No problem. They play on my computer, my boombox, my super cheapie boombox in my shop and on my home component system. What's the problem? I don't assume any media to last for 100 years (of course I'll be dead and then I really don't care as I'll be playing the music of the spheres no doubt!). I also have quite a few 30 year old cassettes that work and sound just fine (I've was told that cassettes are useless after 5 years!) Myths are so easy to propogate aren't they?
