i sure was fucking hoping it was though

I still burn blu ray M-discs

Never burned a CD in my life. And now I never will, just to spite you

A relative lately wanted me to burn an Audio CD on their Windows 10 PC. I had little to no idea how to do it, since last time I did that was on Windows XP.

I knew. I had been meaning to buy an aftermarket car stereo with USB and MP3 support for a long time. I was on my last blank CD, and had to decide then whether I would buy more CDs, or whether I would buy a new stereo that didn't need CDs.

I'm baffled at how many people here still burn cds.....

I burned an Active Shooter video for work last week. I got a lot of spare discs. Might be a good way to store copies of everything the fascists are deleting.

Occasionally break out the burner, it’s just very rare. Plus these days it’s a portable little usb drive.

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

That's sad but true, man. Miss you "Car Rock VI".

My gen Z kids burn CDs - it's a "retro" thing for them. Literally burnt one last week.

I was just thinking "I need to burn some music CDs for when I travel", just in case.

I went on a car trip earlier this year, but forgot my bluetooth to aux adapter. I tried to buy one while I was on the road, but places were sold out, didn't carry them, or they only sold them via online orders.

As luck would have it, I still had some old CDs I'd burned 20ish years ago sitting in my glove compartment! I honestly did not expect them to work because they'd likely spent at least the last decade+ in that glove compartment, enduring extremes of heat and cold. They were scratched to hell and back and I had always heard that they degrade and become unreadable after a certain amount of time, even under ideal storage conditions.

Luckily for me, though, they mostly worked. I think there were a couple of songs on one disc that skipped a bunch, and everything else played fine. I rediscovered a few great songs from my youth that I'd not heard in so long that I'd practically forgotten about them.

Burnt one recently for a profile backup on a terminated user.

I still burn DVDs. Ever since USB storage was deemed "not secure", they are the easiest way to get data into and out of sensitive networks.

I still have an external burner and a stack of CDs, and multiple players including my old ass car. I also listen to tapes, vinyl, and regularly use my NES and VCR. Reject modernity, embrace tradition lmao.

I recently got a USB CD drive/burner. But I don't have blank CDs lol

I burned two DVDs yesterday. First time in almost a decade, but it made me wonder why I don’t do it more often. I still have 98 blank DVDs on a spool purchased years ago.
