<EM>&gt; &gt; Would you like to see some of my pile of CDs and CDRs that were fine
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; when new, but became unreadable within one year?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I suspect either a dodgy writer and or dodgy media. I have many CD-R's that
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; are much older than this and are all still perfectly readable. That said in
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; my time I have come across CD-R's that are almost immediately unreadable.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;

<EM>&gt; If you by cheap unbranded disks then the you only have yourself to blame.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;

<P>You mean those Kodak thingies? Or Maxell, TDK, Mitsubishi? CDROMs of gold or
<BR>
silver? Commercial audio CDs, VCDs and CDROMs? CDRs recorded on many drives
<BR>
and failing to play on any?
<BR>
<P>If you live in a humid place CD lifetime really sucks. A substantial
<BR>
percentage fail quickly, although many last for years. Perhaps that reflects
<BR>
variability in the protective coating process.
<BR>
<P>As you say, the cheap CDRs, now produced by the hundreds of millions in many
<BR>
Asian factories, simply don't work reliably at all. I don't understand why
<BR>
people keep buying them.
