Without us realising, Nero burned Rom 😥
ngl i feel safer digging through CDs while driving than digging through a music library on some phone touchscreen. probably if i learned to use voice controls i’d feel better about the phone but i’m at that age where i’m comfortable enough with my ways that i’d rather not have to change them.
Never lol.
Seeing as I have lots of computers that won’t boot from usb, no
Old ones I presume? I have a habit of hoarding old computers too. What do you have?
Rough list of the interesting ones:
- IBM RS/6000 Model 250
- Compaq AlphaServer DS10
- 3x Apple iBook G3
- 2x IBM ThinkPad A31
- Panasonic ToughBook CF-28
- And then like a billion more less memorable ones
We’re becoming a rare breed.
Well now I’m gonna burn one of my RW disks just to make this wrong.
Where’s your rewritable God now?
What if I know it’s my last time as well? Checkmate
What if you get dementia and forget about that time in particular?
It was a Linux ISO
Because after switching to Linux your CD drive stopped working due to a lack of drivers?
I’ll continue to burn Sega Saturn games to CDs for some years still. Especially considering how much it costs to get some of them now.
Ripped one last night
What is it called when you rip a disc under the covers? Is it still called a dutch oven?
A CD, right?
Right?!
😬
I see putting stuff on a flash drive as pretty similar
Unless I die in the next month, I plan on burning more CDs. Added a bunch of new albums to my MP3 player a few months ago
I think you’re using burn when you mean rip.
Why are you still burning CDs?
Why do people buy vinyl?
Because of the fidelity, that’s not a thing with burnt discs…
That’s categorically false. And ultimately, fidelity to what? Modern records are analog pressings of almost always digitally recorded, digitally mixed works. What is the record doing that’s more “faithful” than, say, the original digital master copy?
Yes because your BURNT cd hasn’t had a few steps to degrade the quality… a bought cd would be better than a BURNT cd.
That’s not the case. We can copy a music CD in a lossless way, losing no information.
Burning low bitrate mp3s will obviously be worse.
That doesn’t really address the point here. People buy modern vinyl, which is generally several steps from original recordings/mixes as well. It’s literally the same issue. You can always say “it needs to be more faithful,” but faithful to what?
People don’t buy records because they’re “objectively better” or “more faithful” or whatever terminology we want to use. There are several possible reasons, usually revolving around the physical format itself/the experience and ritual, as well as the tonal hallmarks of lacquer. If you want “fidelity” outside of “simulates what people were listening to upon release,” [edit] most consumer vinyl records are not a good medium. Which is why people buy them - like CD’s - for various reason.
A burned CD can achieve a lot of different aims, just like a record can. You should actually talk to people in the hobby to inform yourself here.
A BURNT cd isn’t lossless so that’s just plain false mate….
Bloviate about whatever, but dude asked about burning a cd, you made a comment about vinyl which can be lossless, while a BURNT cd never will. A bought cd yes, as I did already clarify.
