are you talking about data or audio? For audio you can have 
an enormous number of errors before a human will detect 
anything wrong. If data; in your case you're fine, but 
no-one is guaranteeing that in 20yrs all CDs will have 0 
errors in 650M. The original poster is looking for 
guaranteed survival.
