All the Music/Data CD-Rs I burned when I bought my first (4x) burner in the
fall of 1997 still work fine. I just wish I had better declicking/denoising
programs back then because Im having to redo my older vinyl to CD-R rips.
Most of the CD-R tests I have read on the web were done by severly abusing the
CD-R (scruffing, scratching, leaving them out in the sun, even sticking
them in
the microwave?) but if you keep them in Jewel Boxes/Sleeves they should
hold up
fine. I just stay away from the bargan no-name CD-R brands. My favorite CD-R
brand right now are FujiFilms - mainly because they are made in Japan and are
thicker and higher quality than the Taiwanese made brands, burn great on my
52X
burner and are available everywhere.
PS: make backups!
