So I am resuming my process of copying nearly 500 cd's (25 years collecting) so I can put them on my computer and then digital media player.
Between brakes I am playing my dvd box sets of Babylon 5 on my newer players (XB1/PS3/etc)
All CD's and DVD's have been well kept in cases and away from direct light exposure and moisture and so on.
Now my DVD's are starting to fail.. Episodes are starting to skip or become unplayable despite being played once. Imagine paying 40-60 dollars for each set and 2 or 3 discs are unplayable from each set.
As for CD's...yep a lot of them are showing the same signs mentioned in the article.
Question is, how good is customer service with these companies in replacing discs that have failed due to rot?
