I have cds from the 80's that play just fine.

I had quite a few commercial music CDs that started "rotting" from the edge after a few years. I looked it up back then and apparently it was poorly-pressed CDs that let humidity creep in-between the two plastic disks and oxidize the aluminum coating inside. Cheap CDs I guess.

Terrible. I reripped my collection to flac a couple of years ago. All 700 or so had no issues except for a couple that had sustained damage from an idiot (me).
