Yeah, it's hard to know for sure, because the tests of lifespan are obviously under the worst conditions and accellerated, then extrapolated. But they raise a lot of good points...e.g. quick burns being less stable, cheapo-brand Cds having inferior dyes, solvents from markers degrading the more-fragile topside of the disk, etc.
i'm very careful with my CD collection, because i've put a lot of time into it. But the way technology is going, i fear i will have to transfer everything to another format eventually anyway...just hope the data's still there when i go to do this!
