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.
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%
Back in my day we burned a lot of CDs…
have a stack of blanks. no cd drive. almost bought a usb burner but thumb drive is better. cds only hold like 600mb
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!
Lol, consumerism.
Still burning cds and making tapes here. Nothing changed. You got sucked into consumer capitalism
Are you manufacturing your own CDs and tapes, or are you buying them as a consumer?
Good job not being a consumer I guess.
Have you ever heard of something called a hard drive?
That’s like uphill, right?
No it’s at the computer store
That’s literally true. I was making a joke.
But is it figuratively true? (I was being stupid just for humor)
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.
CDs nuts!
Got em.
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.
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.
I burned a CD just a few days ago.
I just punched a card yesterday.
I inscribed a clay tablet just this morning
It’s about that scumbag Ea-nāṣir, isn’t it?
I recited a saga an hour ago
I’m painting a cave wall right now.
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
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.
