They are exclusively writing about CDs made by burning them and NOT about CDs manufactured with the info built into the plasic.
BIG DIFFERENCE>
It has been well known for many years that some burned CDs will last a short time, or a long time. And not many know 'why?'.
We can buy discs which some claim last. and avoid some others claim fail. But not much real known why.
I use AZO dye discs exclusively.

The article talks about both.
The data is not found in the plastic but on the aluminum inside the plastic for both factory and burnt CDs.
The difference is, with a factory cd they make a glass master that they use to stamp aluminum copies that are then placed in between plastic and the burnt ones use a laser to shape the pits into the aluminum that's already between plastic.

None but that wasn't the point of my post.
I was just clarifying that the article did talk about both manufactured and burnt CDs and that the digital info is not in the plastic but on the aluminum.

I've had one fail.
I can dig around and probably find it if you want more info. It was in a two disk set, a Mercury I think that I had listened to them many times when one just developed a bad spot and wouldn't play. I think it skipped or something obnoxious. But I was able to rip it to a CDR and just used that.
I think most things that go amiss with optical disks will be player sensitive, not so much due to any magic goodness in the players but rather how the defect happens to interact with the optics and tracking systems. By and large I consider them permanent and enjoy the perfect sound forever... They really are far and away the most trouble-free medium I've ever used and I've used about everything. The ones that are subpar are usually so due to the time before the pits, the recording and mastering, rather than a post-pit-plate-print-package problem.
I don't see much more moving media market in our future however, it's had it's spin.

One failure of a commercial CD. Zero failures of CDRs made on my Tascam CD recorder, but plenty of failures of CDRs I've received from other folks who created them on a computer.
