[Dixielandjazz] How Long Do CDs Last? - NPR

[Paul Kurtz Jr]

My earliest CDs have lasted till now as have those of others. However, I now have them copied onto a computer drive and backed up. That means, for me, they’re at fingertip level, fully trackable and findable, at least as far as my memory goes for a search, and they’re backed up to an auxiliary drive. I’m thankful for today’s technology where I can do these things and protect a lifetime investment. I don’t know how many of you have thought of your music as a lifetime investment, but it truly is. Many of you probably have more music than I do and I have a ton! Capture it in today’s dollars for replacement and make a quick calculation and you’ll see the true investment it is.
