I do the opposite now. I buy discs cheap from bin stores, rip them onto my desktop and then upload to my home library for more affordable 'streaming'.

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

Last time I saw this template it was "Someday your parent will carry you in their arm for the last time and neither of you will know it was the last time."

I'm baffled at how many people here still burn cds.....

It was Armin Van Buuren's Intense. Burned it for a road trip.

I had to do it last year so my school would let me listen to music during tests. Had to be on a burned cd so they could review it for cheating. I'm just lucky I still put a disc-drive in my pc builds.

It was only a few years ago, when I ran off some Dreamcast games.

If we include DVDs I probably put a Linux distro iso on one in 2010 or 2011. CDs? Maybe a CD I made for a road trip on 2009 or 2010.

i sure was fucking hoping it was though

I still burn them sometimes for the car.

I loved DVD-RAM. I could just mount them in Linux and copy backups on it. They are even reusable, like you could just delete a super old backup and put a new one on it. I think I stopped using them, because of capacity.

I didn't know it was the last time, and I don't know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

I don't burn CDs, I buy music on pre-owned CDs (Best Of albums, etc.) and rip them to my computer. Cheaper than some of the online music stores where you download the music files.

My barely consumed blank cd tower somewhere in my basement agrees.
