I find that the discs I burn have a shelf-life. They don't always work a
year or two later. I'm constantly trying to figure out better ways to
archive digital music files. They don't age any better than analog tape,
which is not very good these days. eSATA ports seem to be the fastest, but
some people are having strange problems with degradation and poor sound
quality. Nothing today seems to be a stable as forty year old analog tape.
