Hi There was considerable hype on this issue some years back. It seems that some CDs that individuals recorded on cheap disks were not plyaing back well later. I suspect that in addition to the cheap media, their recorders were not so great either. The lifespan of factory disks could be variable, but your disks will probably outlast you and your kids (if you have any). I have been collecting and recording disks from the beginning and none are exhibiting any issues to date. A key to this may be proper storage, not too hot, not too cold, not in direct sunlight and so on. Just like I do with my vinyl collection.

Good Listening
Bruce
