I am very very careful with both my CDs and DVDs. But, I have had a few that just died sitting in their cases, both CDs and DVDs that I have burned. Maybe it's just my luck that it has happened. I've never claimed to have good luck!!
What's that old saying "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all". That's me!!

Then I'm a very, very, very lucky man.ha.

Two other suggestions:
1. Buy a major brand. No generics/no-names. At least that was what the experts said 10 or 15 years ago.
2. Make sure that you keep the CD's out of direct sunlight and within the recommended temperature range. Plastics can degrade in a hurry if you don't do this.

Yes, maybe you just had bad luck. Please don't play the lotto. ha.
