Don't know about the glue eating the data layer. I thought labels and adhesives just took off the reflective layer causing a loss of readability. Data is still there if you can replace the reflective coating...
I've found on some cheap media the lacquer on the label side is very thin, making it easy to chip the reflective layer and lose data. I've also erased CD-Rs accidentally by leaving them in direct sunlight. The UV seems to bleach the dye out of the data layer. Other than that I've had remarkably few problems reading CD-Rs that are a decade old. CD-RWs seem to suffer more from bit-rot. My 20-year-old 720K floppies aren't doing so hot, either. ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
