Vinyl lasts longer if cared for properly.
Digital media supposedly has a shelf life of around 50 years before deterioration.
When they put music in a 1,000 year time capsule recently, they used a record made of nickel.
I regularly listen to LPs that are 50 years old at work, and the ones that are Mint sound incredible. The pressings were so good back then that even scratched LPs sound like barely anything is wrong.
CDRs break down very fast; I have had them develop errors in 1 or 2 years in some cases.
