Digital BW, The Print

Sorry to ask about this, but I can't find any information on it.

Is it really really necessary to store CDs and DVDs in acid-free storage?

DVDs, especially, are encased in plastic - so I would imagine they are pretty impervious to pollutants. Whether the top of CDs are vulnerable to acids is possibly a more plausible question as they don't have the extra plastic layer.

Again, feel free to flame me for posting on this!

thanks,
Richard
