[QUOTE="User121314, post: 1048870, member: 16824"] I have found that perfectly cared for CD's still go vrot over time. Play perfectly today & then tomorrow not. Nor ever again. For no rhyme or reason. As opposed to carefully cared for LP's. When any one of my CD's (or any that I may purchase 2nd hand) approach 67 years of age & are still perfectly playable then I may become a convert. Ditto with anything stored on a HDD or SSD. Until then I'll make LP's my preferred source. And yes, I have some that date back to 1954 & still play perfectly, no snap, crackle pop or scratches. I have also found that vrot CD's make awesome firelighters... HDD's & SSD's not so much. LP's never. [/QUOTE]
