[Dixielandjazz] How Long Do CDs Last? - NPR

[Stan Brager]

The takeaway from this report is that some of the early CDs were poorly manufactured and didn't last long. Modern manufacturing techniques estimate that a CD could last several centuries. My own experience is that all of my early CDs from the '80s are still in my collection and still playable. Several CDs which were produced at home have failed as well as some made in France. 

What are the CD experiences of others on the list?
