CDs and X-Rays???

Every burned CD in my CD case has, over time, begun to degrade. At first it was only a couple here and there, and new CDs would work fine, but lately even stuff that had been working before has begun to wear down. And these aren't old CDs or crappy media, either. Most tracks on most discs have this huge annoying hiss in the background until the song ends, only to begin again with the next song. It didn't happen at all when the discs were first burned, so the only explanation I can offer is that maybe, when passed en masse through an X-Ray machine at an airport, the discs might have degraded. Any thoughts? Anything that can fix this? Any idea what it is or what could be causing it? Please? oodler All my recordings on Penco disks were unreadable after a year of storage in a dark airconditioned room. Verbatim disks recored on the same burner at the same time are fine. Chuck |
