CDs degrade pretty fast. I know people with CD collections that are basically unplayable now. And the typical plastic cases don't even make for nice shelf deco like books or paper-based vinyl cases.

These are easily fixable problems! M-Disc exists for disc longevity. High quality cases exist.

I realize this isn't the world we live in so I guess I'm just yelling at clouds. But come on, Vinyl is just so obviously a bad way to preserve music...

M-Discs are available as DVD and Blu-Ray only, not as CD.

Oops, yes you're right! I bet that could change pretty quickly if a big corporate customer wanted them, though.
