Hi, Rod,

Could you please share with us the type of disc that you used for this?

I have had CDs in my car in both hot Southern California and now 
hot/humid AND cold Greater Toronto area. I made a set of about 120 
and I have only seen a few failures. Those were in the non 
phthalocyanin dye discs. All of the MAM-A discs have survived nicely 
since 2001.

Cheers,

Richard
