Data loss

[kendo]

Has anyone else had this prob I have recently discovered that music + data that I had recorded to previously blank disks 12 months back has become corrupted,I was just wondering if the same thing occurred on more expensive branded blanks?

Hi all

 

sorry to hear you are having data loss probs

how are you recording them e.g zip etc?

as i find using a folder and dumping all extracted zip music into it as it seems to corrupt in zip files.

most music i use roxio software to tranfer them to disc so i can play them in the car.

 

its not unusual for data to corrupt on disc but ive had it happen very little and even though i use cheap discs(mr data)10 pack

i rate that out of 10 cheap discs 2 will be abit iffy.(lots of recording backups etc:)

 

great cup stands:)

thanks for the reply billy I used easy CD Creator

the Cd's would play/read fine for a few months after the initial recording then one day I noticed after a few tracks had played OK the sound became distorted and there after every time it was played no amount of cleaning made any difference suspecting it might be the player I tried them in different players but it made no difference the same thing happened.I have come to the conclusion that the thin film that coats the surface begins to wear/fade with time but was wondering if the same thing occurred with more expensive blanks as the ones I used were cheap
