I haven't read on this lately but the last I heard, CD's were failing at 
about a 3% per year rate.  I work for a company that has a division that 
produces CD media and this is the number I've heard from connected 
people, too.  The primary issue is the lamination related problems.  
I've never personally had any failures of CD media of any format (music, 
video or data) but I trust my archiving to some home network routines 
along with external hard drives that back the network up.
