I store my cd's in the original jewel cases facing up as recommended. Currently I have just over 1300 cd's, some of which are 20 years old. What truly annoyed me is that my original Star Wars soundtrack rotted and was not recoverable by EAC, PlexTools or Cd paranoia. YF |

It will crash. -- WebWalker Very true. However I minimized the risk as much as possible. The hd's are in shock in mounted sleeves and are only powered when I rip a cd. I also burn a low jitter duplicate(Yamaha Crw-F1) after ripping to hd. YF |

Should I keep my slide rule?
Remember when that was the height of geekdom? My daughter and I were in the attic, and she found a box with my old Triplett slide rule from electrical engineering classes in college. She asked, 'What's this thing?" When I showed her how it works, and how fast she could find a square root, she replied, "Kewl!" |

YF If one of 1300 rotted, that means that CD's are very reliable, wouldn't you agree? |

YF If one of 1300 rotted, that means that CD's are very reliable, wouldn't you agree? Strictly by the percentges, I agree. But Sony's promise of "perfect sound forever" implies none of my cd's should deterioate. The manufacturer should have replaced my rotted cd's. I'm not talking about scratches, or wear and tear. My cd's literally rotted from the inside. YF |
