I must be lucky but I've never had a CD fail, nor a CDR that I've made. And I've made many hundreds. I can't account for the problems people have with CDs (though I remember a Conrad Johnson transport/DAC combo back in the 90s that wouldn't play maybe 5% of my CDs; fortunately that's long gone). In the case of CDRs, though, I'm convinced that burning them at the slowest possible speed -- mine, via a Tascam CD recorder, are all at 1X -- is a good thing vrom a reliability/longevity perspective. I HAVE had CDRs that were made by others on their computers become coasters, but then I've never involved computers in the burning process myself.
