There are plenty of people who never did that at all.
I’ve still got some CDs and a burner. I’m gonna go burn one just to spite this.
Naw, not yet. I still burn a few a year. Amazing how entertaining it can be in a older car.
I laugh when people think cds are old. They’re still the best form of digital physical media. Now I prefer analog media of course, but convenience and portability of digital is nice.
Compact Disc Digital Audio is difficult to improve upon in terms of quality. For day to day listening I’ll either use mp3 or FLAC but especially as the streaming services enshittify I’ll take my media on CD, thanks.
Both of my cars have CD players, I probably ought to burn some discs to listen to. I often drive in silence these days.
It depends, I believe actual tape keeps data usable way longer than CDs.
I mean, most likely any pirated ZX Spectrum software on old audio cassettes will work.
CDs are geat, still burn them all the time. I have a Jellyfin server that hosts my digital music collection, but sometimes I may be going on a long drive without internet and CDs are unmatched for that. No battery, no internet requirement, and hold hundreds of hours of music in a a small book in my backseat.
We’re the same, you and I!
I microwaved a few from 2008 last month. They smell of cancer if you do that though.
I loved DVD-RAM. I could just mount them in Linux and copy backups on it. They are even reusable, like you could just delete a super old backup and put a new one on it. I think I stopped using them, because of capacity.
That sounds like slow-ass RAM.
I burned an Active Shooter video for work last week. I got a lot of spare discs. Might be a good way to store copies of everything the fascists are deleting.
I knew. I had been meaning to buy an aftermarket car stereo with USB and MP3 support for a long time. I was on my last blank CD, and had to decide then whether I would buy more CDs, or whether I would buy a new stereo that didn’t need CDs.
I’m baffled at how many people here still burn cds…
What’s burning a cd?

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🙏
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
I have a CD player in my 2004 car and I burn CDs regularly.
I have a 2005 car, but I don’t burn CDs. I plug my phone into a cassette adapter.
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.
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.
All a part of corpos plan to make it so you can never own anything ever again. Subscriptions only. Drink a verification can to skip song.
Oh I knew. It was the last CD in the spindle and I had no plans of buying any more.
