Doug,
If you do a net search on something like "cd dvd longevity", you can get a lot of information. CDs and DVDs can go bad over time; it used to be that consumer-level discs (the sort that you or I use to write on) would last a good deal less long than commercial grade (I don't know if that's true anymore). My own strategy is to backup up data in multiple places (usually hard drives) and hope/assume they'll never all go bad at the same time. It's not permanent, for any one disk, but if I get a new disk every few years, which I seem to end up doing, I can keep backing up to relatively fresh disks. I hope that makes sense? Larry S. PS: It may not be particularly comforting to think about this way, but even paper goes 'bad' when it gets old enough, as can vinyl records (wear/breakage), cassette tapes. etc. At least we can fairly easily make duplicates of our data nowadays. |

Thank you Larry! I guess there's no way to recover these music discs. Hard drive and Thumb Drives...I do have a lot archived on Sandisc Flash! Drives. That, so far has been successful.

Buy an expansion drive and back everything onto it. I now have two expansion drives, as my first one is full.
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

I guess that's the only way. I've researched the bejeebers out of this...Danny, that is the answer! Thanks!
