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.

Oh I knew. It was the last CD in the spindle and I had no plans of buying any more.

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.

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.

I have a CD player in my 2004 car and I burn CDs regularly.

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.

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.

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 burned a cd 2 weeks ago.

I burned an audio CD just a few weeks ago. My car doesn't have Bluetooth audio, so I've kept going old school all along. I bought a few stacks of empty CD-R's and DVD-R's when the stores wanted to get rid of them.

I have zero streaming subscriptions and no intention of getting any. The number of films, games and music albums I've bought from flea markets and second hand stores during the past 10 years has to be in the hundreds. And not one has cost more than 3$.

Even my kids haven't complained about the lack of streaming, they seem perfectly happy using my physical media library.

I’m gonna burn a bunch of music to cd this week just because I can. Might even archive some movies.

Work with medical data in Germany and you'll burn CDs every day, probably for the next 50 years.

I remember the day I burned my last CD. The fire department paid me a visit.

What's burning a cd?

I still burn CDs. This whole streaming thing won't last. Also, my back hurts...

We should go back to doing it, physical media is where it's at.

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 one today just because of this post.

I just burned one today, it was the easiest way to transfer a game to a Windows 95 notebook. 🫠

I still have a big stack of blank CDs and DVDs. I burned a DVD late last year. I don't think I've hit my last time yet. But maybe.

Jokes on you, I still burn my acquired digital media to BluRay discs

Disk rot is like 25 years while an SSD still doesn't have that kind of shelf life
