| Re: what are the optimal conditions for keeping a cd/dvd for years? First of all important is to use quality media and of course the place where to keep them. Sure it's good if you could keep them clean and without scratches. For the pics you've posted i personally like both examples.

| Re: what are the optimal conditions for keeping a cd/dvd for years? Most important are low light and low humidity and temperature. These will do the most damage.

| Re: what are the optimal conditions for keeping a cd/dvd for years? Chas, any thoughts on storing packs of silica-gel or other dessicant with CDs or DVDs to keep humidity down?
