Not having lived through it is fine; being unable to google a couple of words is just virtue signalling how lazy you are, especially considering this is probably coming from someone who's glued to their phone all day.

I've still got CDs I burned back in 08. Nowadays its blurays
There was a DVD in between you know
Yeah went there too, but all of those have not survived here
Back in my day we burned a lot of CDs…
Funny to think that the same number of drives would fit into maybe 1/4 of this height if made in the slim form factor.
I'm a school bus driver and I'm not even joking when I say I blew my kids' minds with a burned CD the other day. My daughter asked me to make one of the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. One kid asked how I got it on CD and when I showed him a burned disc complete with sharpie label his response was just, "Wait you can do that?!"
Made me feel old as hell.
Help me out here
"We used to mark them 'summer mix' and put them in a soft case full of them in the car, which was the style at the time"
You would change your disc at a red light, as tradition tells
Pah, I had a CD-changer for 6 discs!
Is that the thing that holds the phone mount?
No no, the disc changer was in the glove box. The radio had a cassette player. I used it with one of those cassette adapters to connect my iRiver mp3 player.

CDs nuts!
Got em.
It would take less time to just search “burning cds” than even posting this.

I burned a CD just a few days ago.
I just punched a card yesterday.
I inscribed a clay tablet just this morning
I recited a saga an hour ago
I'm painting a cave wall right now.
It's about that scumbag Ea-nāṣir, isn't it?
His copper is subpar.
Why? What did the card ever do to deserve that?
I made some DVDs for someone recently. First I had to dig out my old laptop that has a drive. Then install authoring and burning software.
All the help forum posts that I found were at least 15 years old, I'm amazed that any of the recommended software still existed.
I found that I still had two plastic tubes of DVD+Rs!

Did anyone ever have a Lightscribe burner? I always wanted one. It seemed pretty dope being able to etch a label onto the disc with the same device that wrote data to it.
Yes. It was neat, but actually sucked because the contrast was so low. Switched back to Sharpie after a few
Good ol alcohol 120%
I grew up with cassette tapes. I know what the connection is between a cassette and a biro....

Well of course the first step is to tie an onion to your belt. You can't burn CDs if you're not stylish.
