Have never burned CDs, but I assume I would take our CD player (which i'm pretty sure has a burning mode), plug it in to my computer, and look up "how to burn CDs"

A reasonable guess!

I don't know how film is developed and nobody ever made fun of me for not knowing.

To be frank I am a 30 year old and had to think hard to remember how to burn a cd, and even then. I remember that you just picked the option to burn a cd lol. Remember when you actually needed 2 cd rom drives because images weren't a thing.

I'm Gen Z and have burned both CDs and DVDs...

I can't believe that some didn't learn it, especially growing up in the 2000s prior to the iPhone/iPad.

I still do it, granted I had to get an external CD drive to do so, but still. You put the blank one in and click "Burn CD" in your Zune software, it isn't that hard.

I never learned to burn CD's cause I had a friend whose dad burned them for us. Not sure if that makes anyone feel old or not.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So we had special disk drives that basically zapped holes in a CD that played music or stored data. That's why we call it 'burning'

And get this: You didn't burn 4000 CDs. You burned one, sent it up to Sony in New Jersey, they cracked it open and then pushed it again polymer en masse to duplicate the CD. They called this "pressing."

They must consult the ancient tomes. Or I guess ask one of us who have.

I still have my old CD holders somewhere.

Don't worry, even in Gen Alpha there are some people who know how to burn CDs (in theory), but probably never did, as it is not so widespread now.
