... but haven't had MusicLifePlus wear out yet. Of course, they don't wear out as fast as CDRWs. In fact, I think one of my CDs (FYI: Led Zepellin "Remasters") are wearing out. I Polished the hell out of the CD & it still skips without a single scratch. I just figured the burn was insufficiently deep which may be more problematic on smaller pits.....just my 2¢

CD-Rs and RWs are more susceptible to damage than standard CD. Intense light, heat, etc. can affect their readability.Doug Schneider
Ok, skipping, etc., is a form of wearing out, but is not a gradual degradation in the same way an LP is.Skipping is caused when the laser cannot read the pits, simply. This can be caused by scratches or various other forms of deterioration. DVDs are more susceptible to this because of the smaller pit size compared to CD.
