when was the last time you burned an audio CD?

Last year, late November or early December. My car does mp3s on CD, so I can put all of my favorite artist's albums on one CD. Perfect for the afternoon commute. 🙂
 
I don't feel like connecting/disconnecting my phone every time I get into/exit my car, so I burn a CD with a bunch of MP3s every once in a while and just leave it in there.
 
Two weeks ago ... I enjoy making compilation mixes. Made a 311 and Incubus mix CD this year already.
 
geez... couldn't even tell you the last time I burned a dvd. I've got a few spindles that I should probably just trash at this point.

it's too small to use for backups anymore and I've got no use for burning DVD movies when I can either stream files off my NAS at home or watch Netflix on the road.

that's when I use the radio.

short drive (eg: driving to the grocery store, across town to grab food, etc) = radio

long drive (work, road trip) = plug in my cellphone and listen to a podcast or MP3's
 
I actually thought about this yesterday. It's been a really long time since I've burned anything to disc. I have a DVD-RW drive that I've used one time, and that was to install Windows. Otherwise it and optical media in general can go the way of the floppy for all I care.
 
A couple months ago, back when I had a car with just a CD player. Now that I have a car with Aux-In and a USB connector, there's not much point to an audio CD.
 
Actual CD-audio (44.1kHz WAV)? Maybe 2003? That was almost entirely for use in my car.
It was around that time that I got a CD-MP3 player for the car, so I was still burning discs now and then, but they were full of MP3s.

Then sometime around 2007 I got an audio deck with a USB port.
 
Probably 3 years or so. Blue Tooth phones to vehicle stereos is an amazing technology. I don't know that I could live w/o it now.
 
For me probably about 4 months ago. My car has no aux jack but I have a CD/Cassette player

that looks exactly like this

I occasionally use my smartphone with a cassette adapter to listen to music
Lately I have been lazy and just playing the same CD over and over again :whiste:

Now if somebody made a cassette to bluetooth adapter I would like that
or a cheap bluetooth receiver with a 3.5MM output
 
Must have been at least 5 years ago.

In fact I can't remember the last time I burnt a CD or DVD of any type. I used to buy a stack of them every couple of months then suddenly I stopped using them.

An A2DP Bluetooth cassette adapter was announced years ago but was never made available. 🙁 There are plenty of HFP/HSP Bluetooth cassette adapters though.
 
About two months ago, made a Johnny Cash compilation. I used CDBurnerXP just because it's so easy but normally I still use EAC for audio CD's and ripping.

Never burned an audio cd. I hear it's possible. heh


I have this thing called an "mp3 player."
Click to expand...

1) not all cars have aux jacks
2) its illigal to drive with headphones in

ive had an mp3 player for over a decade, still have to burn CDs for my car
 
I am tempted to burn one every time my daughter buys a Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus CD.

Wait, we are talking about actual burning right, like with fire?
