Wired sucks

Like many of the authors in this very tired magazine, Robert Capps is clueless. Discs will be around for a very long time to come.

I've got CD's approaching 25 years that play absolutely perfectly. I've got records dating back to twice that age that play great too. Stamped CD's can last hundreds of years. Now if you're talking about burned CD's, I hear you. I've got stuff I burned from 10 years ago that have significantly deteriorated. I'm going to have to get those onto DVD or some other media shortly.

That's a myth propagated by vinyl record zealots at that time. Only CDR and CD-RW have a limited lifespan, and mostly for the earlier ones. Factory pressed CDs do not have any dyes that fade over time (which was the big myth's explanation on why you shouldn't get into CD technology).
