I have six CDs in the auto-changer in the car that I burned.  Nighttime
temperatures in the winter occasionally drop to freezing and daytime
temperatures in the summer (with car windows closed) go over 50C, sorry I
can't remember what that is in F, either way it's extremely hot!

This 'test' has been going on for over three years and all discs play fine;
which is not what I was expecting.
