Nothing is fool proof, not even CDR. However I am pretty new to CDR - 2 months, thats it. This link below shows how to store your CDR's: digitalstorage.com Since there is a layer of dye in a CDR, I am wondering if that could be the cause of possible damage over time. Heat is a factor, as it can warp the disk, if you scartch it bad enough it is toast. There must be more info on the dye that is in the CDR. How it stands up etc. When you by a CD or CDROM in the store those are made the simalar way vinyl records were made. I have CD's that are 14 years old they work fine. I have a hard time believing that a CD or CDROM will decay over time. CDR is a different story but I do not know enough about them yet. Also I have seen CDR Disks that are better quality than others. You pay for what you get. If you are archiving files for a long time, I would want the best media avalible. I love my CDR, but I could not live without my ZIP's. All three of them and my 25 ZIP disks. I use ZIP's every day. Take care of you media, whatever type you use.
