And burning cd/dvd's is getting more popular due to disappearing content on streaming services. Some shows got removed and are no longer available to watch elsewhere legally. Such a shame.

I took a class on DVD creation back in the day, how to write the menus and link tracks and whatnot.

Time to shake off the ‘ol bootleg machine.

That class sounds fun.

I only rip them for jellyfin

The crush probably had some incriminating evidence they needed to be disposed of for sure.

Don't we all....... Right?

Sitting here thinking someone might enjoy getting a mixtape or burned CD even in 2025.

Assuming they have players.

Although DVD and br can play cds.

My daughter doesn't have anything to play a DVD with, but she buys DVDs and gives them to me to rip and add to my media server so she can watch the movies via my server.

Backing up and preserving physical media. A champion among us.

That would have been cool

What do you mean would?

No, but literally burning them was fun because of the colorful flames and smoke. And the burning lungs.

Spicy rainbow fires are the best.

I got a usb cd burner online for $15 recently

What are the price of disks now?

I have not yet met a young person who doesn't know what a CD is. I feel like the internet has pranked me.

It was them, wasn't it? The kids. They started this rumor did they not? They're laughing at us right now, aren't they? They're reading this comment and they know I fell for it.

But if you ask them what burning a cd is I bet they think it's setting them on fire, not writing data to the disk.

I don't know why we called it burning. Fire was not involved. We could have just called it "copying."
