You're insane. If your burned media is only lasting a couple of years,
you're either treating it very poorly, or buying the cheapest POS
house-branded stuff you can find.
A properly-done recording burned on quality media will last much, much
longer than that. I just pulled out a CD I burned in 1995, I believe.
It's completely usable; all the data is 100% intact. I have DVDs I
burned four years ago on my Pioneer drive that, again, are in perfect
condition.
The only CDs I've ever had fail are the ones I left baking in my car
for a couple of years. I expected that; they were disposable mix CDs,
and treated as such.
I'm not sure what you were doing to create such poor-quality burns, but
your experience is not the norm. Not at all.
