Rarely. I personally own CDs that are over 25 years old that play perfectly. I own roughly 8,000 CDs, and I think I've had four or five that actually went bad, and that was only due to a faulty pressing, where the entire run of CDs was bad.
CDs can't get a virus, be accidentally erased, lost in a computer crash, "corrupted," or erased by a strong magnetic field.
I'll take CD quality over lossy downloads any day.
