Unrelated but… having lived through the 00’s I always found writable CDs and DVDs to be such a shit unreliable tech. It always seemed like discs might work ok with some drives but not others, or just stop working after a few weeks, and they really didn’t seem tolerant to even minor scratches. Just awful.
I really only burned Audio CD’s and DVD-Video movies. I haven’t had any issues. All the ones I’ve burned still work. Data DVD’s, less reliable. I have lost data on those. I burn Blu-ray movies now. I don’t think they’ll last long.

I have hundreds of burned discs that work fine. If you bought cheap discs you got what you paid for.
I’ve heard this a million times.
I certainly never bought the cheapest discs. It’s been a decade but I think it was verbatim usually.
