They're durable enough. I have subscriptions. Each CD set is $29.90 shipped. I consider it worthwhile because I don't have to worry about heat and light exposure with pressed CDs, so I can stuff the disc set on a shelf in a server room or keep a set in my toolkit which tends to stay in my car. CDRs would be toast if left in a hot car or even on top of a warm server. -- Darren Pilgrim
