I still do it, granted I had to get an external CD drive to do so, but still. You put the blank one in and click "Burn CD" in your Zune software, it isn't that hard.

I never learned to burn CD's cause I had a friend whose dad burned them for us. Not sure if that makes anyone feel old or not.

The household tower when I was young had 2 CD drives. The actual computer wasn't much, but boy, do I remember all the burning my mom had me do for her peoples

So we had special disk drives that basically zapped holes in a CD that played music or stored data. That's why we call it 'burning'

And get this: You didn't burn 4000 CDs. You burned one, sent it up to Sony in New Jersey, they cracked it open and then pushed it again polymer en masse to duplicate the CD. They called this "pressing."

I'm Gen Z and have burned both CDs and DVDs...

I can't believe that some didn't learn it, especially growing up in the 2000s prior to the iPhone/iPad.

I wanna get a DVD/CD Rom drive in my PC, not because I need one because honestly it feels weird not having one
