When was the last time you burned a CD? Just did this ysterday

I burn them all the time for my old computers, plus they're cheap.

I don't know. Probably a couple of days ago. Old consoles like the PS1 can only load games via the the disc drive, aside from the PSIO.

A decade ago when I was trying to burn an .iso of that Matrix game.
Now I have 3 DVD-RWs with big capacity that I will never use but I think I will keep it just for nostalgia. It costed me 10 bucks I think but w/e.

I used to burn Dreamcast games and homebrew but I stopped when My Dreamcast stopped reading them.

I don’t even own anything right now that could read a CD or DVD.

It's still the best way to do long-term archival / backups.

>That amazing sound when installing Windows XP from the original CD-ROM

Who rips with abcde here?

'97. I bought a plextor scsi writer selling hash and was amazed by the quality of the ceramic optical mechanism

Like, 5 years ago?

I use to torrent the shit outta movies, anime, tv shows, cartoons and stuff and then burn em to CD's to watch so I'd have a huge ass collection.

Now? I just keep a personal server going and store all my shit on there.

I've looked into this. You're probably right, though the dye on most disks can fade in a few years. If you really want something to last though, an M-Disc DVD/blueray or similar is probably the best choice

couple of months ago, burning PS1 and Saturn games
and I backed up some shit to DVD semi-recently

been meaning to burn some more music for the car, too
could plug my phone in over aux, but it's a lot less hassle just using the car's CD player

Couple of months ago - dl'ded some Ricaine off soundcloud and play it loud in the car

My gf's car is a 2004 Chevy Impala with only a CD player and no way to plug in an MP3 player.
I'm about to burn a CD for her, actually. She likes some of the moe denpa I've been listening to.

So you're still with your obsloete gf from 2004?

i used to burn cds weekly, until a Waka Flocka CD exploded in my bluray drive and jammed it beyond repair

few days ago for my Sega Saturn. Lost my old burn of Shining Force so I made a new copy.

I bought some blank cds a really long time ago but I still haven't opened them. The last time for a DVD was several years ago, it was 5 of them for reinstallation media for my laptop. I like using write once media for stuff like that.

OP has good taste.

I burn flac rips from the internet and rip them via Exact Audio Copy to make a "perfect" flac. Then I upload it to RED.

2014, burned a few mix CDs for my car. Kinda miss the old days of having 4 CD/DVD burners writing at the same time for hours. It felt more productive than filling up an external drive.

Also:
>tfw spending weeks downloading porn clips on dial-up and burning them all to a DVD to fap to at 2 A.M. when everyone's asleep

Remember when the world wasn’t so faggoty?

When my dad wanted a Queen CD to play on his Civic 5 years ago

I'm literally burning PS1 games right now.

a few months ago I was about to out of desperation trying to install windows with several faulty microSDs and flash drives but didn't have any blank media. When I went to the store to weigh the cost of blank media vs flash drive, flash drive was cheaper so I didn't have to burn a boot disc.

Like 1½ years ago. Music to test some loudspeakers.

absolutely not. hdds are much safer. i am testing m-discs right now but regular discs are not safe at all.

CD? *Years* ago. I do burn dvds, they are my low budget backup system. I have a CD burner in a box but I don't think it even works. It will be a long time before I let go of DVDs though.

Occasionally burn audio CDs for my mom or for my car. Mom is too tech refusing to use any devices with interfaces more complex than a TV or CD player, and the car doesn't have a swappable headunit so I can't install one with AUX or USB.

I made a driveless mod for my ngc. It can load isos via sd.

Turbo bs. A lot of my cds burned 15 years ago have tiny holes in the silver layer because the material is degrading.
CDs are a horrible long term backup. DVDs are better because the data layer is in between two protective plastic discs.

Dec 2018.

Needed some music for a venue that only had a CD player (yes, really, no aux input at all :/ )

I'm burning a DVD right now, 9th one today

A little more than a year ago.

I was burning a mixtape for my oneitis as a birthday present. She loved it.

I don't know when I burned it must have been like 7 years ago but a few months ago I had no way of making a windows usb as my machines are running Linux and its near impossible to make a working windows installer. They just never work. Anyway I found an xp disk I burned in my drawer and had to install that and then I could make a working windows USB from within xp. Was a life saver. I don't really like optical media though its basically obsolete

about 14 years ago
