I'm not sure if they've degraded, but I've got one of those CD-R spindles with a few disks left on it somewhere

I could burn a mix CD this afternoon if I felt like it?

Thing is if I gave half of the people I know a mix CD I'm pretty sure they wouldn't actually have a means of listening to it

    Just brought out my old dvds and put them on hard drive. They were burned 18 years ago and used organic dyes. I recovered avout 50% of them. Old me should have spent more on nonorganic discs... but old me couldn't afford them back then, so he gets a pass I guess. Plus new me can easily dl most of those discs in an hour or two now.
