    I’ve still got one full of burnt anime DVDs

    Some of them even have show artwork etched directly on the front of the discs using Lightscribe 😎

      Lightscribe set a CD I had burned on fire once. The CD seemed to have some weird coating on the top to make it writeable with markers. Turns out, that shit is flammable when hit with a laser.

        I wish I still have my lightscribe drive. I used to make such rad labels. Now the blanks are collector items.

    Due to enshittification, the audio system in my car has decided to sometimes refuse to connect to my phone since an update some time ago. It refuses to connect, sometimes for weeks. Because of this I have started to carry a CD wallet in the glove compartment again.

      Same here. I had to dig a burner out of an old PC in storage and then go on a hunt for CD-Rs.

      My CD wallet is in the pouch behind the drivers seat. Easy to reach behind me while driving to grab the wallet and change the album.

    I had one of those too, until it was stolen.

    Back in my day your entire music collection could be stolen in an instant.

    …up hill, both ways!

      This happened to me but with my original Nintendo DS and the case I had containing all my favorite games. Worst thing that happened that year to little me.

    I have a four CD wallets with about 200 burnt CDs and DVDs in them … music, movies, videos, ebooks, backups, data, MP3s, entire wikipedia archives, ISOs and OS install CDs.

    All sitting in my closet. Sometimes I drag them out just to see if they all still work and they work just great. It’s somehow comforting knowing that if the end of the world arrives, I’ll still have a semi reliable data bank of information to keep me entertained until I get murdered for the last few cans of beans in my basement.

    I had a few of those. Mostly for system ISOs but also for movies. Music didn’t take much space as it was all MP3s.

    Best friend would pick me up, I’d grab the book, throw on 40 Oz, and roll-up in the back of the book

    I feel so sad I must confess To losing my music creating duress I had a folder full of Demento Stolen, all gone, Most only memetoes

    You could pack an ipods worth of music in disc form, but once gone, you could wistfully look through all the cases and booklets you still had…
