What is the normal life-length of a normal pressed CD (not a burned)?
In 50 years when im old and sitting with my grandchildren blasting come to daddy on vinyl saying "now THIS is real music, not that garbage you are listening to", will i be able to play them the CD?

dvds last well over 100 years.. I'm sure most cd's made in the past 6-7 years will do the same
