it's all trial and error though unfortunately, as no manufacturer wants 
to state "our disks degrade in 3 years".....

i've always considered Kodak Gold's to be the standard if u want to keep

Do I have to re-burn all my cd-r's on the new black ones or what?  I have 
priceless (to me anyway) rarities by a whole slew of bands, and I don't
