I was always under the impression that CDR's would have a pretty long shelf-life in terms of not degrading / corrupting over the years ...
... but some (actually, pretty much ALL of my) PS1 CDR copies made at single speed about 10 years ago, still load and play but appear to have corruption in the audio data. (Major audio stuttering during gameplay).
This isn't in games that have separate audio tracks, so I'm guessing that in general, those discs have begun to degrade.
Is 10 years about normal for the life-span of a CDR, or, for middle-grade CDR's manufactured during that era?
Should I expect this sort of "half-life" on my DVD+R movie/game copies as well?
