hopefully there are some interesting artifacts of the partially recovered
mp3s due to the disc rot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot> but
seriously good luck... some of the cheap cdrs without coating just
chemically degrade to the point where they just won't read... (I learned
that the hard way) what a terrible archival medium... :( cassettes lasted
so much longer....
