Re: CD Degradation Times
Oh, and re. the thing about burning CDs slower - This is actually false, and can actually make the disc worse depending on the CD burner!
A lot of burners have an optimum speed - Usually 32-40x - If you burn above or below this, discs can actually have MORE errors!

When I burn data DVDs for work and run the "verification" process or whatever after to make sure it's error free (supposedly), if I burn at 8x speed, the DVD gets racked full of errors. 4x speed though, and it's fine. I don't much care for dealing with burnable media.  :sigh:
