It sounds like the only way to deal with this is to

this way.
Am I the only one here who has never had a problem with CDR and DVD-R media? I
burned my very first CD in 1995 and I can still read it. I keep all my CDs in
closed CD folders in a dry environment. I keep wondering if people who have
CDRs that exhibit "bitrot" have them in a humid environment, exposed to direct
light or something.
