The actual applicable question here isn't how well they work NOW...but, rather,
how well they will work in, say, 2032!

Of course, this assumes two things:

1) That CD's won't have been replaced and rendered obsolete by some more
advanced form of data storage (which may be able to put several hundred
terabytes of data onto an object the size of a p**sant...?!)

2) That human...or, in fact, ANY...life will still exist on this planet
(hadly a given considering fairly recent events...!)...?!
