i burned a cd 2 weeks ago.

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

I’ve still got some CDs and a burner. I’m gonna go burn one just to spite this.

Burning one today just because of this post.

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 burn Blu-rays once in a while. They work for backup.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Last time I saw this template it was "Someday your parent will carry you in their arm for the last time and neither of you will know it was the last time."

😭

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

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

Unless I die tomorrow, you're wrong.

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

I still burn them sometimes for the car.

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

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.

I do the opposite now. I buy discs cheap from bin stores, rip them onto my desktop and then upload to my home library for more affordable 'streaming'.

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 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 miss lightscribe

I didn't know it was the last time, and I don't know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

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

If we include DVDs I probably put a Linux distro iso on one in 2010 or 2011. CDs? Maybe a CD I made for a road trip on 2009 or 2010.

I don't burn CDs, I buy music on pre-owned CDs (Best Of albums, etc.) and rip them to my computer. Cheaper than some of the online music stores where you download the music files.

What's burning a cd?
