Burning cds of my punk band to sell
Encountering the first bunch of “I don’t own a cd player” people.
Cracking the music biz during the collapse of it was a bad idea.
I’m gonna burn a bunch of music to cd this week just because I can. Might even archive some movies.
It was Armin Van Buuren’s Intense. Burned it for a road trip.
I had to do it last year so my school would let me listen to music during tests. Had to be on a burned cd so they could review it for cheating. I’m just lucky I still put a disc-drive in my pc builds.
It was only a few years ago, when I ran off some Dreamcast games.
Remember me Nero Express, good memories, awesome name for a CD burner.
My brother recently found 15 year old CDs with family photos and they still work.
It’s funny how video game media often degrades quickly due to use, but well-packaged and lightly used discs can last for many years. Maybe still a great solution for data that doesn’t need to be accessed constantly.
As a kid I always thought that Nero is a stupid name for a program because in Finnish nero means genius. To be honest I still think that it’s a stupid name.
Except disc rot is a thing.
It’s why I’ve gone through all of my old media and transferred them to my media PC. But I have to admit it’s more satisfying when it’s in the form of physical media, when it’s all computer files I hardly ever look at them.
I remember the day I burned my last CD. The fire department paid me a visit.
Haha thanks dad
Work with medical data in Germany and you’ll burn CDs every day, probably for the next 50 years.
Yeah, I have a CD with some x rays lying around here somewhere.
Although the MRT images I got done recently were accessed via QR code (+password) on an online portal, so yay progress.
Little known fact, German doctors love to make cd’s for every procedure. The most famous of these as shown by German medical data is Heinrich’s Proctology Polka Mega Mix.
I thought that I burned my last cd a long time ago until my uni required me to hand in my thesis on a cd.
Buying a 4-pack of CDs (with cases) was more expensive than buying a 128gb sd card.
What’s burning a cd?
Fuck the irony of a child calling themselves the grammar police.
The internet is a lie and I take no one seriously.
Bro, I’m an adult male
The act of ‘burning’ an optic disc was to write data onto a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray. It was called that because a laser would literally burn the information into the disc.
Thanks grandpa🙏
I’m baffled at how many people here still burn cds…
Sigh. I work in medical IT. They still burn shit. I’ve written procedures for USB, but alas…
Bullshit. Just two weeks ago I burned an audio CD as a gift for someone who enjoys listening in their car or on their player in the bathroom. Not everything needs to be always online streaming or has the ability to read SD cards or USB sticks.
Burning a FLAC and hearing on a HiFi system with nice cable headphones sounds so much better than a garbled compressed audio stream that gets recompressed to be send over Bluetooth.

Last week isn’t really that long ago. Going through my mom’s old things and found a PC she bought new back in 2013. A Dell Optiplex 790 with a dvdrw in it.
I just happened to have a couple of blanks so I verified that it worked before pulling it out and using it as an external drive. Works that way as well on my much newer Ryzen 5800x build in a case with no 5.25" bays. (Or externally accessed 3.5s for that matter. No external bays of any sort other than some USB ports on the front.)
My 2006 Honda also has a 6 disc changer and it sounds better than the Bluetooth adapter I connected to it. (It is wired to the back of the factory sound system, but Bluetooth audio just sounds flat to me, even on the best speakers)
Assuming your head unit is double-din, you could upgrade your radio that has an equalizer feature built in
