It doesn’t have to be the last time.
CD’S NUTZ!
Profound, though.
*will
And have few days ago. I like spinny media.
Oh, I also have a half destroyed portable CD player (previous battery leak, damaged screen, broken stop button) that can even play mixed mode CD with MP3 files. That means I can combine lossy and lossless on the same disc. It can even shuffle between the 2 parts, albeit with a slight delay.
To quote Mr. Bringus Studios: “Optical media bad.”
I did back up all my discs though, physical media backups are awesome.
And when was the last time you dubbed a compact cassette? (For me it was 2 hours ago)
Whenever I get my cassette player to work again. I have to replace a gear, and I do have the replacement gear, but it’s turning out to be harder than expected. Luckily the manufacturer put a diagram of all bits and bobs with numbers and how they fit together in the device manual. It’s like a very complicated puzzle
I think it’s pretty cool that they have user and service manuals. So you can actually fix it by yourself when you have the parts and tools to do so.
Yeah exactly. But those must’ve been hard times for the shareholders. How can those poor hardworking shareholders ever earn money if you don’t buy new e-waste every 2 years?
3D printing is also awesome. For this respective model there were already 3D models available for the gear that broke in mine. I don’t have a printer, but I was still easily able to order a 3D printed replacement gear
Black metal or folk punk?
Yes.
Why do you use cassettes?
They feel nice in the hand and sound good. Also it’s fun mixing them, designing jcards and labels.
I actually do know when my last disc was burned (it was a DVD though–)
One of my video prod professors demanded we turn in our group assignments in DVD format
… This was in 2018
I was the only person in the entire class that even had a DVD burner. Everyone pooled together to buy a spindle and a Disc Marker and I spent all afternoon burning everyone’s DVDs
Without us realising, Nero burned Rom 😥
WOAH is this why it was called Nero??
Yes. Their logo is a burning colosseum
:O I always thought it was a funky looking cd lol
From what I recall, yeah :)
A few months ago I started moving most of my audio media over to CDs. I don’t trust streaming services to maintain extensive libraries and/or continue to exist.
We’re already seeing video streaming services remove content from their platforms despite having the rights to it.
I doubt that Spotify or Apple Music won’t do the same in the near future.
Spotify has already removed Toxicity by System of a Down.It’s back again. :sJust curious, why use physical media instead of something like a NAS?
Because my parents had a CD burner and a tower of blank CD-RWs they let me take from their place. Also, doesn’t need an internet connection for me to accesses them when I’m not at home.
I’d say local storage but phone manufacturers took out the fucking SD card slot.
i have never burned a single CD or DVD in my entire life
ps: i’m 19
That was… two days ago.
I keep my old SATA DVD-RW but I haven’t had it installed in anything for years. I finally recycled my USB floppy drive. I’d kept it to potentially help people with data recovery but decided that floppy data anyone might have lying around had already degraded.
Well now I’m gonna burn one of my RW disks just to make this wrong.
Where’s your rewritable God now?
What if I know it’s my last time as well? Checkmate
-
Burn “Summer Jamz '98” mix CD.
-
Pick up revolver.

What if you get dementia and forget about that time in particular?
Mine was around 2016 and IIRC I said something like “Never thought I’d be burning a CD in 2016!” because some Autodesk software required it and we had to fish a CD-RW drive out of storage in the client’s closet.
It was a Linux ISO
I remember having a big stack of discs with tons of random ISOs burned onto them. I don’t actually know where that stack went to be honest
It was a Tails ISO 😅
Because after switching to Linux your CD drive stopped working due to a lack of drivers?
I know you are trying to be funny, but cd drives have been working fine since literally forever under Linux.
Yeah I was just making the classic liNUx nO WoRK joke
There’s like a 95% one of the last CDs I burned was a The Prodigy album. I was super into them the last time I had a computer with a burner installed and I can’t think of anything else I would have burned during that time. It’s possible it was a cracked version of office or something.
