Just to be clear, this comment (and other like it) missed my point.
My concern is that things I record now on cd-r might not last even 5-10
years.
My primary concern is the next 5-10 years. Maybe 20 at the outside. I
just want media that won't degrade in *my* lifetime.
I've read things which suggest that audio cd's won't last even 5 years
if exposed to sunlight and that's a little scarey (for me) because
cd-r's seem to be more fragile than audio cd's (but perhaps that's not
true).
Anyway, can anyone confirm that the gold and silver CD-R's are much much
better and will last a long long time?
(where long is > 10 years)
