Ravenfreak Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I didn't burn CDs that often because back in the day I didn't have a computer. I remember going over to a few of my friends houses who did have computers and watching them burn mix cds. I had a friend back in the day give me a burned copy of Green Day's American Idiot, and I remember listening to it off and on growing up. I even found a burned Yellowcard Ocean Avenue CD once in the field down the street from my house when I was a teenager. It barely played though since it was super scratched up. :V killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to give them to my friends all the time and I even had some special ones for certain occasions like a friend's birthday or playing it in the car while out on a date. Good times for sure!

The Blackangel Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I still burn CD's. But I miss the days of missing the first couple words while you hit record to tape a song off the radio. Having a hundred blank cassettes that were all full of songs taped off the radio. Ninety of them having the same songs over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that as well. the worst part about cassettes is that you might not remember if you taped a song on one and didn't remember to tag it and you tape another song n it. That used to annoy me so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have tons of CDs in a case holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I remember burning CDs very well! I used to spend hours downloading mp3s to my computer through Napster and then making playlists and burning them to a CD. I have always been someone who has been picky when it comes to albums, most of the time I would buy an album and some of the songs on the album I would never listen to, it made more sense to make playlists of my favourite songs and burn them to a CD. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here - most albums, I usually like one or two songs off it so burning CDs made sense to me. On another note, I forgot about Napster because I used to use that and Limewire to get the songs.
