Has anyone compared the sonic qualities of the Kodak Gold Preservation CD-R and the Mitsui Gold CD-R? Also, how does either of these gold CD-Rs compare to the better black CD-Rs?
CD Lifetime?
Just saw this press release regarding 24K gold CDs for archival purposes with a lifetime of 300 years, with the implication that a "normal" CDR has a lifetime of only 6 years.

Any idea what the lifespan of a commercial CD is? Since many of mine are closing in on 25 years old, starts having some relevance... Maybe another argument for burning them all to hard drive, although I've still be viewing my collection as a "backup-backup." Anyone notice any aging effects on their collections?
