   @chjara caveat, CD-Rs go bad after a number of years. Regular CDs are pressed and last forever, but CD-Rs use ink that when hit with a laser creates a bubble and they use that to create pits where the bubble isn't. Apparently the ink decays or something. I have disks from maybe 15 years ago that are dead. Supposedly DVD-Rs are rated for like 30 years.

     @Moon @chjara CDs can still deteriorate if not stored properly or if they’re pressed improperly but they’re probably still the best.
