Sure. Me too. And others that are a decade old that are unplayable. Some dyes degrade more slowly. Storage conditions (temp and humidity) also contribute to how soon they fail. They might last 10 years, 30, 50 but CDRs are inherently unstable and ultimately will all fail at some point. No one is going to be playing them a hundred years from now. Whether that's a problem or not depends on what's on them I guess. Plenty of papers on this published by the Library of Congress, NIST and so on.
