Just to be sure, we should send them every single Justin Bieber CD in the world.

"CD players have long since given up on most of the burned mixes I made in college." That's because they are on CD-Rs. That's got nothing to do with how long pressed CDs will last. (I have precisely ONE bought, pressed CD - out of thousands - that stopped working, and that is the "Ultimate Edition" of STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE, though I believe that was due to the material used in the digipak in the European release reacting with the CD, so it's very much a rare case.) (Saying that, my DVD of SEVEN DAYS IN MAY also stopped working. Not sure why.)

I have a Joe Harnell double CD-R album that's not doing so well. I'm re-ripping my entire collection and these CD-Rs are the biggest problems I've encountered so far. EAC still managed clean rips. I've encountered single tracks on pressed CDs that have given me trouble, but nothing unreadable so far.

The one pressed disc I've ever had a problem with was the the Welles Raises Kane/Obsession combo, which is infamous. All of the others play just fine. And i have thousands.

LOL... thank you for the laugh. :-) In any case, I purchased my first CDs in 1987... among them ISLANDS IN THE STREAM (Intrada) and THE BLUE MAX (Varese Sarabande). They all play and look perfectly fine. Of course, I don't keep them burried in compost most of the time but still...
