Agreed. No CD lasts more than a few years, that's even if you never scratch the thing.
i have scratched audio CDs from early 90s. they play out just fine.
i'll just leave it here.

"Playing" music CD's is not the same as reading digital data from them. One bit wrong and the data is screwed. Not the same with music.
