The only time I ever experienced any CD degradation was when I once used a
CD-RW (re-writeable) for a backup. I tried to access it just a couple years
later and my PC just had a hard time reading some of the files. Those files
were important to me, so I ended up finding some software that would keep
trying to read the files for hours (if you'd let it), and it was able to
finally copy the files off the disc.
Normally I would back up to -R (write-once) discs, and I store them in a dark
dry place, and haven't had a problem. My computer desk has an area for
software disc storage, and there are other CDs I have in boxes in a closet.
I've had some discs I burned about 18-20 years ago and others I've bought that
are older that I can still read without any problems.
