Not totally as I think MAM-A is claiming an 80 year life expectancy 
for them vs. their 300 year claim for the CD-R.

My supplier has switched to the Archival version of the CD-R, by the 
way, so that is good news for me. It's a few pennies more per disc, 
but at least from a marketing perspective I can say I'm using the 
best of the best <smile>.

I think Tom Fine has done some. I am using them strictly as a file 
delivery method.

I offer four delivery methods at the moment:
      MP3 or WAV downloads
      Red Book Audio CD-Rs
      Files on DVD-R (I have the gold on order)
      Files on FW/USB drive

Check copies are either download or Red Book CD-Rs.

Cheers,

Richard
