[–] 4 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I thought that point in time had passed for me but a friend of mine is a bit of a technophobe and I wanted to share an extremely rare music album with him. So I burned another CD a few weeks ago... good thing I decided to keep my Blu-ray combo drive for just such an occasion.

    I wonder if there is a way to burn to vinyl instead so it would last longer. I might be inclined to start creating my own vinyl collection.

    How long do CDs last anyways?

    Factory-pressed CDs last a long time (100 years and more, depending on ambient conditions). The organic materials used in burned CDs are not as durable, IIRC.

    Does vinyl last longer? Keep in mind, vinyl degrades each time you play it due to mechanical wear...
