Amen. And really, if you take care of CD's they can last a good long while. Keep them away from excessive heat and cold, out of really moist environments, so forth. People abuse CD's, DVD's and such and then wonder why they rot. I always keep my discs in the cases when not in use, I never leave them in the device and I keep the cases in plastic sleeves at all times, out of direct sunlight. It's a good habit to baby your media.
