The author has had better success than I have. Earlier this year I archived a couple dozen CD-R and DVD-R discs with mixed results. Most remained accessible, but a few were no longer readable, tested across multiple drives. In my case, the discs were cheap, CompUSA branded discs. Media quality certainly matters. These discs were also older than the author's, approaching 20+ years.
