My Dovetail OT CDs definitely show the scary "bronzing" of CD rot,  
and have for some time.  But if there are any problems, the CD error  
correction has overcome them so far!  Besides, I've now ripped them  
all to lossless files on a big ol' hard drive, which is itself backed  
up to another big ol' harddrive, so I'm less worried than I was. :)
