  And one day, a few years later, I threw away my opened package of unwritten raw CDs and DVDs.

    Still feels like a waste. But my spool was just taking up space.

    I regret it, it was dozens of disks, and yet haven’t needed a CD since.

    Although I do still use DVDs on occasion.

    I still remember doing the same thing

  For the last several years of me burning discs, they were all Ubuntu live dvds. I believe the last one was Ubuntu 18.04.

    Yup. I tossed out a whole sleeve of them things a couple years ago. New burn every time. Then I saved them … because … um … nothing.

  It’s easy for me to remember. I made a cute soundtrack for an anniversary. I miss that relationship sometimes, but I try to convince myself leaving helped me grow.

  I still have a BD-RE drive in my current setup. It almost never sees any use, but it’s definitely nice to have the option should I ever require it.

    Same. I plan to burn some backup blu rays to free up space in the next year or so

  I’ve kept my Blu-ray burner in service from the past few rebuilds, probably had it about a decade or so

  Though I’m not sure I’ve actually ever burned anything with it—used it to back up some old DVDs recently though

  I never knew that “road mix 17” was going to be the final release

  I might just go and burn one more when I get home, just for the heck of it ;)

    I was thinking the same but I realized I am not sure I have a computer with a CD drive or a mother board that supports my old IDE drive

  Amusingly, I think I remember some of my last ones, though maybe not my absolute final one.

  For the most part, I’d already moved away from CDs, but I got a job driving vans which didn’t have Bluetooth or an aux port. I ended up burning a few mp3 CDs für that job some time in late 2014.

  Fun fact: one of those CDs contained brony music which I accidentally left in my van one night. I came into work the next day to hear it blaring on the warehouse speakers until I heard someone saying “what is this?” before changing the CD.

  The drivers were all talking about it during lunch and I sat there quietly, amused by them trying to figure it out 😂

    I’m assuming you’ve moved on, but if not, there are FM transmitters for when you want music or navigation instructions from your phone to play over the vehicle’s speakers. Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack ones are both available.

      Oh god yeah you’re bringing back some memories there 😂

      So I already knew they were a thing, but annoyingly on some of the vans there was only a single 12v socket, and we had to use that sticker to plug in the navigation system/manifest.

      So CDs were the easier choice until I got hold of one of those 12v splitters.

      The one I had was far bulkier than the one shown.

      A lot of the time it didn’t matter anyway because people don’t take care of the vans so a lot of the guys played their shit in the loading bays at full volume and would regularly blow the speakers out.

      Sometimes I was going out with a Bluetooth speaker jammed between the dash and windscreen.

      I had 100 solutions, it seems. The CDs were just one of them 😂

      If you haven’t kept up, I’d recommend some of the “Ponies at Dawn” albums

      Recollections was one of my favourites. Some absolute bangers on there

      poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/album/recollections

      Ignite starts off insanely strong as well
