What to do about short CD-R lifespans?

This is a follow-up question to an earlier post which cited the study claiming a much shorter than advertised life span for burned cd's.
By the way, that article's subheading is something like
"And don't count on hard disk drives either."
And DVD-R + magnetic tape have their own sets of questions.
Ok-- so you have some cd-r's (good quality media, error checked, blah blah blah.)
What to do? Is the only option to basically check them every so often + reburn them every few years?
Would this degrade the quality at all (for music files)?
