RE: "In addition, March said, records aren't as durable as CDs. "

Hey JimK,

Have you noticed if any of those CDs that went bad are the gold ones?

(I bring it up because I remember reading, (a long time ago), that one reason for going to gold was that the aluminium, (used in standard CDs), will oxidize eventually,(within a hundred years even when encased in plastic), whereas gold will not, (or at least not in our lifetime).

FYI, I have not had any of my prerecorded CDs go bad, (knock on wood!), but I've had several of my CDR copies go bad after just a couple of years.
