the fact that some features of records are exploitable for music creation,
or are cool in some neat little way, and that you can do all this
irrelevant stuff with them, means nothing to my point: they are an
inferior format for the playback of recorded music.

i have heard that cd-r's rot, but i have heard many times that cd's can
last up to a century without degrading. unless you muss them all up, of
course. the can rust from the inside if you scratch them right.
fact: even if cd's do degrade, before they do you can just make a PERFECT
copy and throw away the original. fact: you can't make a perfect copy of
a record.
