Well, considering that old camera lenses often suffer from fungi, just
as mildew can attack floppies and tapes, it would surprise me not that
CDs can become afflicted with it as well. I wonder if only the
aluminum CDs are the problem, or if those gold CDs from Kodak are also
affected.
Does anyone recall the audiophile debates several years ago that
pertained to something called "CD rot," using that as one reason why
vinyl records were superior for long-term storage. I thought that the
"CD rot" they spoke of only had to do with disintegration of the
plastic and then oxitation of the metal layer.
