If I still had a cd, but the 100 count spindle I bought nearly 20 years 
ago seems to have died from room lighting. Neither drive recognizes 
them  after nearly 20 years under ccfl, and now led lighting. The 
commercial music cd's even older are fine, but the recordables 
apparently fade under room lighting in 10 years or so. Only those in the 
AOL tin boxes are readable today.
