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.
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.
That's so cool. I do a lot with audio tape (mostly 1/4" 7.5ips and 15ips), but never data tape.
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 have an old android phone running lineage and I host a hotspot if I want it to have data, it's amazing how well Android Auto works without Internet access compared to having data though.
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.
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.
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.
I remember the day I burned my last CD. The fire department paid me a visit.
Haha thanks dad
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.
That's me. ADD and 678 folders of digital media is not fun. I need physical. Plus, it's actually real then.
