How many of you leave your CDs in sunlight?  Based on info at Kodak's 
website, the color booklets on your normal CDs will fade before a CDR 
would go bad.  I remember reading in Mix about 3 years ago that Stephen 
St.Croix left a CDR in a south-facing window for a week - no data 
errors.  If you treat your CDRs like your vinyl rekkids, you'll have no 
problems.

There's a massive CD faq at:

Please skim this for the obvious Qs.
