I don't know, but I'm having a grand time looking. Here is a document
published
by the Library of Congress in 2003. "LONGEVITY OF CD MEDIA: RESEARCH AT
THE
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS" It's supposed to be in PDF format, but I can't seem
to
access that version. Maybe somebody at LOC can point the way. In the
meantime, I found an HTML version by following this link:
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=cache:dVmv2WvjfCYJ:www.loc.gov/preserv/study%2520of%2520CD%2520longevity.pdf+compact+disc+life+expectancy
Unfortunately, the link brings up a text-only document with its
substantive
content in graphics. It appears that the scope is pressed discs, not
recordable ones; there are many lesser questions which apply.
I do not want to appear to be a curmudgeon here. I have pursued questions
of longevity of recordable optical media for some time and have not found
better references - but neither have I found any which led to usable
answers for the obvious questions.
