I've been buying CD's since 1984 & none of them have gone bad. I come from the LP age, so I always handle them very carefully. I know people who never put them back in the case, leave them lying around on the floor, oh dear. I have a few CD's where some tracks have always skipped, but funnily enough rip OK, & some discs have always played fine, but just won't rip. I bought a CD in a Charity shop & when I got it home & looked at it, & have never seen a disc so bad, it's like someone had rubbed it down with sandpaper & it had been scribbled on with a magic marker. I through it in the bin, then on second thoughts tried ripping it into my computer...& it ripped fine!
Nothing lasts for ever (esp. digital), as long as I outlive them, then that's fine. Anyone see that documentury about digital film making "Side By Side"? They don't have a foolproof way of storing digital stuff yet. So in years to come, all those digital photos, & movies shot on HD might not be around. And who knows, maybe in twenty years time you might have a hard job finding a CD player.
Sorry to go off subject, nothing about oxidation in this post

Does anybody know if PDO is still replacing the faulty disks?
After searching for years for a decently priced copy of the "Moby Dick" cantata, I've finally found one - and guess what: the disk won't play. The same thing happened to me with the "Great Epics" CD. It's truly a shame that these rare recordings have not been re-issued - let alone are only available on damaged CDs.
The same thing happened to me with the Philips re-recording of "The King And I". No big deal: I spent a few bucks and had a copy that's working...
With the Herrmann and the Cloud Nine disk, however, it's a true shame. The recordings are also unavailable for download
