David's right to bring the attention of everybody to the life span of CDs. Researchers in Spain also maintain that CDs can be degraded by fungal attack. So, the correct temperature for storage COULD have a bearing on their life span - but who's going to bother? A few years down the track, there'll be cries of "WHY didn't somebody tell us this could happen?" Of course, it would be too much to ask that a manufacturer produces a well-resarched, quality product to start with? And who hasn't gone out and bought the 50cent CD, rather than that expensive $1.50 one? "They're all just CDs."
