I've gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don't have anything to play it on.
I dug out my Wii for it once... Which probably proves im not a young person anymore
Could the Wii even play audio cd's???
It had the capability (as with DVDs), so as long as you've got a modded Wii and the right homebrew software, yes!
Ahhhh not stock, only via mods.... I have the black "unhackable" Wii :(

Not anymore, my frend
Get an external drive, it's useful to have lying around for those rare occasions where you have something on an optical disc.
The weirdest one that we had recently that comes to mind is when my wife has an MRI recently, they gave us the scans on a DVD. We had no external drive or any other way to view it / transfer it to a USB.
Omg come to my house! I have a computer dvd-drive and a 4k drive for ripping. I have 3 gaming consoles with disc drives. And I have 9 portable CD players and 3 portable DVD players.
I am a collector. I have a hobby of making my own CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.
That does sound fun. How far from Berlin are you, in rough terms? Can I walk over, or is it more of a cycling distance?
I'm about 6000km from Berlin I'm afraid.
Yeah, that's a bit of a hike, probably would throw my plans for the week.
New York?
I'll bring the pizza and some two liters! Who wants what?
What 4K drive do you have, and how do you like it?
It's an Archgon Md-8107-U3. I got specifically because the firmware could be updated to allow ripping with programs like Make-MKV. Works great.
Yeah, I don't own anything that can play optical media. When downloading MP3s became a thing I just stopped using CDs.
Do you have a game console? Uhhhh......besides Switch I guess.
I have a switch emulator on my pc. Ones for other consoles too. Don't see much added value in a physical console, since I need a reasonably powerful PC for work anyway.
Also, to touch on the other questions in the post, I have an Apple Music Subscription, but do have about 50 GB of flac files of my favourite music mirrored to most of my devices, in case I'm holed up somewhere without Internet access.
This was my first thought as well, but disc drives are an option on them now, not a standard.
Yep, last time I owned a CD drive was two laptops ago, around 2016 or so...
