The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ?

CDs in my collection, that I've had since the 80s, still play and sound very well, but they have always been stored and handled with great care. I have had several CDRs go bad over the years, even though getting the same care and handling. I have LPs from the 60s, 70s and 80s that still sound great.
I too believe the industry is pushing to move us away from CDs and into streaming  and downloads. I'm afraid that, like analogue LPs, CDs will become harder to find and and more expensive to buy. Being a hands on person and not having much interest in the download craze, I'm hoping that CDs, as well as the analogue comeback, will hang on for some time yet.

Absolute rubbish.

I have recently finished a project ripping 18,000 Cd's to hard drive. I had one that had deteriorated and was unplayable.

They were as much as 30 years old. I would have to say that I don't lose any more sleep over my CD's than I do over my 10,000 LP's. There was an issue with CD's from one English plant from the late 80' and early 90's that affected not only Hyperions, but also Unicorns, Nimbus, and other smaller English labels. I have lots of these also and have had no real trouble with them either. Soo...
