Remember me Nero Express, good memories, awesome name for a CD burner.

My brother recently found 15 year old CDs with family photos and they still work.

It's funny how video game media often degrades quickly due to use, but well-packaged and lightly used discs can last for many years. Maybe still a great solution for data that doesn't need to be accessed constantly.

CDs are geat, still burn them all the time. I have a Jellyfin server that hosts my digital music collection, but sometimes I may be going on a long drive without internet and CDs are unmatched for that. No battery, no internet requirement, and hold hundreds of hours of music in a a small book in my backseat.

Work with medical data in Germany and you'll burn CDs every day, probably for the next 50 years.

I still see blank CDs and DVDs for sale sometimes. Makes me wonder who is out there using them.

I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.

Mdisks are a viable offline long term backup solution, and cheaper to get started with than tape drives.

Cheap difraction gratings though, indispensable

I did know. It was 2 years ago when me and my neighbour pranked our neighborhood grandma by burning shitty music and leaving the CD in the mail.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I was hoping for it tho.

I remember the day I burned my last CD. The fire department paid me a visit.

Burning cds of my punk band to sell

Encountering the first bunch of “I don’t own a cd player” people.

Cracking the music biz during the collapse of it was a bad idea.

I have a CD player in my 2004 car and I burn CDs regularly.

I laugh when people think cds are old. They're still the best form of digital physical media. Now I prefer analog media of course, but convenience and portability of digital is nice.

I have a whole cake of 100 blank DVDs unopened from 10 years ago. Been looking for a reason for them. Maybe make a post apocalyptic art piece.

June 13th, 2022. 7:13pm. If that's the last one I burn, I will at least know when. It was Windows XP Media Center 2005, for my fleamarket Dell Demension E510. Well, more accurately, an E310 with a E510 motherboard.

Bullshit. Just two weeks ago I burned an audio CD as a gift for someone who enjoys listening in their car or on their player in the bathroom. Not everything needs to be always online streaming or has the ability to read SD cards or USB sticks.

Burning a FLAC and hearing on a HiFi system with nice cable headphones sounds so much better than a garbled compressed audio stream that gets recompressed to be send over Bluetooth.

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

I still burn blu ray M-discs

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm not dead yet and have a Blu-ray burner and some blanks.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's easy, you just have to sign up for Microsoft's CD burning app for $6.99/month. Make sure to have your credit card, social security number, and birth certificate handy when you setup your account. You just have to watch a short advertisement before burning each CD.

I burned a few last week

[–] Shanedino@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are plenty of people who never did that at all.
