Yeah, I’m the same way as far as carrying CD’s in the car. I haven’t ever made cover art for them but I’ve made custom j-cards for cassettes before. There’s something more “real” and relatable about a tangible album, even if it’s handmade.
I don't burn CD's. But I do still buy 'em. Have been, since 1986. Just surpassed 2,000 titles, recently. My CD shelving takes up an entire wall of my apartment. None of my friends understand why I still buy music in physical format. 💿💿💿💿
Me and my friends used to burn cds all the time when we had a cd player in the car. Still have some laying around, just haven't had anywhere to play them.
I do this too. In fact its kind of gotten out of hand. Stuff that you cant find on disc, or super rare expensive out of print albums and demos. I eventually just started uploading it all up to Kunaki and doing the CDrs that way.
What type of blank cds u use to burn ur cds I like the Memorex white blank cds 💿 cause it’s easier to write ✍️ on them The other blank cds have different colors
If it’s out of print etc, then I’ll burn it to cdr and keep the digital download on external drives. If anything happens to the disc, then I just burn another. I also buy quality 2nd hand cd’s as well as vinyl….
It's an art. You burn a CD and make the songs mesh together like perfectly matched gears..make a cool custom cover for the case and give it to a friend. It was perfect for my interest in stoner rock. My iTunes library looked nothing like my classic rock record/cd collection. It was fun...i was in my 40s and discovering things like Clutch , Corrosion, Zakk, Scott Weinrich and all his bands, mystik krew of clearlight and Atomic Bitchwax. Damn...i wish i could find those burned CDs. I enjoyed my midlife crisis.
Hey man, new viewer of the channel here and I love what you've been doing with talking about your collection, physical media, and your monthly listens. This video really clicked and opened up some memories I have of burning CDs and listening to music as a kid in the early 2000s. I used to have a Sony Diskman (Sony Walkman Sport for cassette tapes) that skipped like shit whenever I hooked it on my pants and going to yard sales and thrift stores was where my siblings and I got most of our things like that, a lot of my foundational childhood music experiences came from that, my own dad showing me music, and long family car rides babyy (Foo Fighters, Wolfmother, Metallica, Guns-N-Roses, AC-DC, Joss Stone, Jurassic 5, Atmosphere, Switchfoot are a few). Going to the public library in Idaho, picking out albums and burning them to CDs for my own listening has always been a core childhood experience for me. Over these past couple of years I’ve been getting back into- sort of reclaiming what had been lost over the years- the physical media aspect of the music I listen(ed) to, and through 2022-2023 it really blew up for me. I guess a dam had built and burst and I decided I needed to take my music listening and collection seriously again, plus I’ve played instruments all throughout school and my family has always been around musicians like my uncles. Music has always been around me. Anyways now its cassette tapes (even going so far as to repair and mod some 80s boomboxes), CDs, and records and watching your channel has weirdly crystalized the thought that maybe I should start making videos documenting my music listening too, big ups to the inspiration man. Ive felt this incessant drive, this hunger to discover and discuss music but living in such a small town and feeling physically isolated from others that share a similar passion and drive for music has made it hard to share with people in person, working full-time nightshift and trying to stay off social media definitely impacts that XD. Recently I finished renovating a spare room that my boyfriend and I stay in and its become my collection and listening room. I gotta say that your taste in music, room decor, and general vibe is what has brought me into your channel, it just clicks. I keep a rotating stack of CDs in my truck (I need to get a dongle and disk reader and start burning my own CDs again) and currently its some metal albums of Gorod- Leading Vision, Gojira- Terra Incognita, Carnosus- Visions of Infinihility, Carnosus- Dogma of the Deceased, Job for a Cowboy- Democracy, and an extra Hobosexual- Monolith to top it off with some heavy metal stoner blues rock. Love the videos, man. You’ve got a good thing going and shits not that easy, so take care of yourself and create when the passion strikes.
thank you so much for sharing! that means the world to me. its so cool to me that you got inspiration from me. i never thought i’d hear someone say that to me honestly. please start making videos! i’d love to hear about what you’ve been listening to, what your music room looks like, what you have in your physical collection, etc. i also grew up in a small town and was still there when i first made this channel. it was with the same hopes that you have, finding a community that i can talk to about one of the most important things in the world to me, music. music has always been such an important part of my life as well and nothing can make me feel my emotions harder than music can. it makes me feel confident, sad, comforted, euphoric, i could go on and on. i plan on making a video about it sometime. i’m so glad that you found my channel and i really look forward to you making videos. thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me and for giving my videos any attention at all. i hope to hear from you more in the future!
I burn CDs in 2024 because I got a great deal on a couple of 50 pack tubes of brand name blank CD-Rs. Unfortunately none of our cars have CD players anymore.
I still make CDs myself! For Mac I use XLD to rip them and Burn to burn them. They have more options than iTunes/Music which I had used for many years and is still good for sure.
I enjoy burning CDRs for myself too. But just a FYI, the failure rate is pretty high after 5 years. I don’t think I still own a CDR that still plays after 10 years. I have hundreds of retail CDs I bought in the 80s that still play fine. I’m 55. I’ve been a music collector my entire life.
thanks for putting that on my radar. i havent run into that issue yet. i have some cdrs that are over 10 years old that still play fine. i’m not that worried about it as i can just burn another in the future if need be.
I make my own music now, it's awesome, go on youtube and download anything and put it on cdr, I use cd's and cdr's for my cars, they always sound better than an ipod, you guys are hardcore if you make copies of any cd for car travel, not a bad idea but way to involved for me.
Certain Wal-Marts still carry the OMM brand cases and different brands of cd-rs. It’s great to have a mix of different genres/songs on a disc to play in the car. I wish the newer vehicles came with cd players. Not everyone just wants to stream. Take care…
Tyler. been ewatching you fer a bit. What do u use to burn? just your craptop? i just bought a new sanyo and marantz rack mounted decks, for my recording studio/indoor hockey/curling rink . besides using it to mix/master my origin-iLL $hit, i make mix disx 'n' still make mix cassettes for my sports teamates and band/ensemble mates, in all genres of AmeriCanadian and global idioms, genres and styles of music. sometimes i'll take out something from the loc-iLL library, or Pandora, that i cannot find. for example, i just did Pre Family, Crimso, Asia/UK John Wetton band Mogul Thrash, as well as John Coltrane, Grandmaster Flash, The Barry Gordie Howe Towne Proto Pun/prog band Death. Cheers from aa Detroiter now in SpoCanada.
I still burn CDs. It’s the simplest way to play lossless music without a physical release on my stereo without resorting to Bluetooth. I have tried multiple times to set up a streamer to play locally hosted files but could never get it to work right. CDs, though outdated, just work. Additionally, I’ve been on a cassette kick recently and have been recording music from my vinyl and CDs onto tapes. I digitized a bunch of cassettes I made, and threw them on a USB stick for the car. My friends think I’m crazy for doing that, but I think it’s fun.
Nothing is assured or promised in streaming. You have no guarantees the music, movies and TV that’s there now will be there tomorrow. Better start getting smart about all this and get copies of what you want if you’re able. You have zero say on if it will be here tomorrow.
I was told by an electronics professional who repaired my CD player that CD-R's caused the problems I'd been having playing my discs. He warned me that they make the laser work harder to bring up the info on the disc.
love the vids mate, watching from Australia. i commented a while back about dr hook did u get the chance to listen to them? I'm also getting into making my own physical media, using cassettes though.
thanks a lot! very cool that you are watching from across the world. i listened to some of dr hook and its interesting but not really my thing. it would be neat to make some cassettes someday. i could see myself getting into that
@@prpwnage9296 yeah bright red is probs one of the least masculine colours but I've done dark red myself for a few days when I was bothered enough to do that because I was seeing the band literally called Red. I know what you mean tho seeing it on other people but at the same time it's kinda liberating and I had acrylics even done a couple times earlier in year just to kinda do something unique with art
Hell yeah! I’ve been trying to lessen my streaming habits and get more into physical music, good to see people also get into it too.

I’m OG and nothing beats physical media, nothing, IMO!
If its gonna be outside the house, any master CD I backup for travel.

i still buy cds as well. i have a much smaller collection now since getting rid of a lot. i still have about 50 or so of some of my favorite albums
How else can you actually BUY music if it's not in physical support?
@@fruitfulcraven Why are you getting rid of CDs?
@@TheRealHucasys my collection was overwhelming for me and i want to have just my core favorites across all my physical music formats.
Me and my friends used to burn cds all the time when we had a cd player in the car. Still have some laying around, just haven't had anywhere to play them.
They sell boom boxes 🗃️ everywhere especially target 🎯 big lots or dollar trees
Maybe...........you could buy a CD player....? 🤯
I used to have a CD-R of three albums by Herman’s Hermits. Both Sides Of Herman’s Hermits/Hold On! Soundtrack/Blaze. 31 tracks and 66 minutes.
love ur vids man, so chill
thanks so much!
I do this too. In fact its kind of gotten out of hand. Stuff that you cant find on disc, or super rare expensive out of print albums and demos. I eventually just started uploading it all up to Kunaki and doing the CDrs that way.

👍

I'm also studying to be a cage fighter
I buy them on eBay used or brand new but there expensive

Have a whole brand new pack of blank Dvds purchased around 10 years ago,
But my new PC doesn't have a DVD player or writer! Lol
Does it have usb ports? If it does, get an external dvd drive. I have one on my apple Mac and burn to my hearts content, lol

Joe Dirt part 3?
Maybe a paint marker might hold better for the CDs
thats a good idea! i was thinking i may put some scotch tape on the spines then write on them or color it in
@@fruitfulcraven scotch tape is pretty slick so the color might rub off. Maybe colored painters tape?
