[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1423165"] If my extensive collection of DVD and CD backup media (from back before it was more practical to back up other ways) is any indication, proper storage in a cool dry environment (ie anyone's normal household) away from strong sunlight should allow (as it has for me) reliable storage for at least a decade ... I can still read discs I made in 1996 without issue. Now, you put a homeburn (let's say as an example) Audio CD in the glovebox of your car or someplace where it gets lots of heat and direct sunlight ... well don't count on that disc working indefinitely ...
