I have more or less stopped burning CDs & DVDs completely since advent of pocket media players
and affordable USB hard drives & memory sticks.
I guess that's fairly typical for most audio visual enthusiasts.

Last time I checked stacked up boxes of recorded discs
so many of the earlier ones had already started to visibly deteriorate
despite being stored carefully in cool dry dark room.

This thread has also reminded me of a pair of high quality Pioneer CD Audio recorders I've got boxed up somewhere.
Can't have used them for about 8 years,
since finishing off my last pot of expensive Audio specified discs.
