Probably survivorship bias as the only old CDs for sale today are in good shape
- lb1lf 6y ago-Still only anecdata, but I've been buying lots of music on CD since the late eighties, the oldest I know of was pressed in late 1983 sometime. (Which is only a year or so after the introduction of the CD anyway) In sum, some 3,800 CDs. I ripped them all a couple of years ago - I had problems with a handful, but EAC eventually got them all to disk. I examined the troublesome ones, but no (visual) signs of disc rot.
