Should I be worried about that? They still play fine, but with cdrs so cheap, is that reason enough
for me to make a safety copy anyway? Or is the whole thing a myth about the discoloration of cdrs?

"In the past couple of years, however, something known as CD rot, or bronzing, has slowly crept
into the digital vocabulary. The Herald published an Associated Press story Thursday on this
