Yes, as a matter of fact, I own a pair of commercial music CDs that are
degrading from the outside in. Both are hyperion make.
I also had some music CD-Rs that were written by a friend that became
unusable very rapidly. They say this happens when you glue certain type of
labels to the upper side.
However, most of the CDs I own are OK, even some bought in 1987.
Regards.
