Hi List: I must make one clarification about this stuff on CD & DVD. Commercially produced CDs & DVDs have a much longer shelf life then those that are produced by the end user. It seems that commercial disks are produced in a different manner then those of home consumer. I don't remember what these differences are.

I'll see if I saved the item, but probably didn't. He advocated tape as a backup medium. Not endorsing, just informing. I have cds older than 2 years and they're going ok for the moment. I doubt that any of us with extensive collections will be constantly making copies anytime soon. Blueray may change this, but that won't happen until the discs cost about what dvds do now, imho. ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew2007 To: PC Audio Discussion List Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 10:45 PM Subject: Re: Output format tips needed: No flame intended, but why not site these great research sources.
