Re: Blue Room

It could simply be an issue with the way it was encoded so that these newer drives aren’t able to read it.  I’ll try it on my older player tonight and see if it’s “playable”...

While they're theoretically supposed to last ~50-100 years, experience suggests more like 10-15 years. YMMV

I'd STRONGLY suggest backing up a 20-year-old disc ASAP

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

How long are cdrs supposed to last? The blue room disc is 20 years old now. I should check my copy too. My only concern's been the disc label peeling off.

My CD-R of Blue Room demo has deteriorated- does anyone have a lossless copy I can “borrow”?
