Back in my day we burned a lot of CDs…
Funny to think that the same number of drives would fit into maybe 1/4 of this height if made in the slim form factor.
Winamp! (Winamp!) Winamp! It really whips the lamma’s ass!
;)
Yeah, it’s probably best you maintain some distance from winamp, especially if it’s been drinking.
This CD is not for your Stereo, it’s for your Computer!
CDs nuts!
Got em.
Not having lived through it is fine; being unable to google a couple of words is just virtue signalling how lazy you are, especially considering this is probably coming from someone who’s glued to their phone all day.
Bruh it’s clearly meant to be a joke lmao
Calm down gramps
I’m a school bus driver and I’m not even joking when I say I blew my kids’ minds with a burned CD the other day. My daughter asked me to make one of the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. One kid asked how I got it on CD and when I showed him a burned disc complete with sharpie label his response was just, “Wait you can do that?!”
Made me feel old as hell.
I burned a CD just a few days ago.
I just punched a card yesterday.
I inscribed a clay tablet just this morning
I recited a saga an hour ago
I’m painting a cave wall right now.
It’s about that scumbag Ea-nāṣir, isn’t it?
His copper is subpar.
Why? What did the card ever do to deserve that?
It was a nasty piece of card.
They’re particularly nasty at this time of year
I made some DVDs for someone recently. First I had to dig out my old laptop that has a drive. Then install authoring and burning software.
All the help forum posts that I found were at least 15 years old, I’m amazed that any of the recommended software still existed.
I found that I still had two plastic tubes of DVD+Rs!
Linux has built-in in dvd burning and ripping tools that work amazingly. Been ripping all my ps1 and ps2 games.
FYI: unless you have a very specific model of CD drive, your PS1 backups aren’t perfect copies. They will work but the copy protection might not have been read properly. It’s not important in 99.9% of use cases. If you need a perfect copy, download NoIntro dumps.
Good info. Mine have been working well. But I still keep the hard copies I dont get rid of them. But yes disc rot is a thing though ive not experienced it
DVD-R or DVD-RW?
not the dvd+r dvd-r shit again
+R.
If you’d asked me, I’d have said that I always bought -R, but I guess I was different person back then.
Well of course the first step is to tie an onion to your belt. You can’t burn CDs if you’re not stylish.
It would take less time to just search “burning cds” than even posting this.
I grew up with cassette tapes. I know what the connection is between a cassette and a biro…
The original music piracy!
Straight from the radio. How I hated DJs talking over intros. ESPECIALLY Bat Out of Hell. Took me so many attempts to get Roy Bittan without the monologue .
Or if one of my friends bought an album, we all had that album.
I’ve still got CDs I burned back in 08. Nowadays its blurays
There was a DVD in between you know
Yeah went there too, but all of those have not survived here
Back in the day here in Finland we ordered bulk of cd/dvd r and rw’s from Åland Islands (autonomous region of Finland). They were cheaper thanks to taxes loophole. I still had 20 pcs of dvd’s from those days and burned them all to save some space on my pc.
Did anyone ever have a Lightscribe burner? I always wanted one. It seemed pretty dope being able to etch a label onto the disc with the same device that wrote data to it.
Yes. It was neat, but actually sucked because the contrast was so low. Switched back to Sharpie after a few
Good ol alcohol 120%
