I still have a spool of 100 fresh discs plus a dozen RWs.

that day is yet to come.

I’ll go burn a cd right meow. Idgaf.

One day, you inscribed a clay tablet for the last time without even realizing it.

Funny enough, I used to write the dates on the CDs I burned. If I go dig out my collection, I could probably find the last one I made. My guess off-hand is that it was around 2008-2009, since that was the last time I had a car that didn't have a way to hook an iPod/phone to the radio.

Probably last year working on my retro PC build. For another person though, that is a different story.

Mine was "Irene's boot CD" so I could reset my friends windows 10 admin password he forgot.

The Initial D soundtrack so I could listen to it in my 90's Toyota Corolla.
This was in 2019.

I burned a CD a few weeks ago to listen to in my truck.

Just yesterday I burned a cd to listen to in our 2004 corolla. Pretty sure it wasn't the last.

Six months ago.

I wouldn't bet on it, I just brought an old windows XP 32 bit back up and running just the other day because it didn't support anything but CD and network boot probably DVD too but I didn't check because all I had was blank CD's I had to install some odd Linux because nothing else would fit on the CD and run 32bit.

Me, burning my last CD for a school project: “I am for sure never doing this again” checkmate atheists

I think it might have been CrunchBang linux over a decade ago

It was most likely the album Blueshift by the band Splashdown. The album was never actually released for sale, and it's one of the most amazing things I've ever heard, so I was always burning copies of it for people.

Of course now the whole album is on YouTube.

I made a 15th anniversary "mix tape" on a CD like, a couple months ago? And they're useful in my car, so ... that's probably not the last time.

Although! Aside from music, the last use might be in high school when I used to sell bootleg anime to rich kids at the school. Lol

I still do it though.

I also just ripped a CD last night.

I didn't realize it then, but I remember it now. Her name was Sarah, I had her put together her own playlist while we were smoking outside on a comfortable summer evening. So many memories...

I thought that point in time had passed for me but a friend of mine is a bit of a technophobe and I wanted to share an extremely rare music album with him. So I burned another CD a few weeks ago... good thing I decided to keep my Blu-ray combo drive for just such an occasion.

If you own a Sega Dreamcast built before like December 1999, it runs burned CDs. Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation as well

Does it have to be a CD? Can't it be a DVD?

MP3 CD for my car was probably my last one.

Mine was probably FCKGW-RHQQ2-i forget the rest of the key.

~10 years ago i bought one of those sony cd players with the giant carousel that holds like 200 discs. i probably spent a week burning entire discographies.

I'm still burning DVDs of my pirated movies I downloaded

Last week for me. I burned a FreeDOS 1.4 CD to install it on my recently acquired Pentium 4 desktop.

I still have a bunch of DVDs here for planned backups, I've never used

Ok, not a CDROM, and yeah, I can't remember what my last one was...
Probably some Linux ISO

Yeah, probably some PS2 game, or a elfboot for it

It was Massive Attack Mezzanine and the cd is still in my old car for all I know.

It was a version of Ubuntu Server. I don't know what one I think 2012?

Jokes on you. I just burned a cd for my kids car. Yes he has a cd/tape deck.

a bootleg copy of windows XP to downgrade from vista on a weak laptop

They're still good for making OS install CDs for old servers. Especially since I have a pile of them still.

Or things like offline config backups.

I can't remember the last CD, but I burned a boot disk for Mint Cinnamon onto a DVD-R not long ago.

Mine was 30 CDs at the end of high school containing a video of the photo compilation from the class album.

without even realizing it

staring intensely at the CD-R drive

"Come on baby, you've got at least one more in you!"

I could go burn another one right now. Flash drives are just easier and less wasteful.

It wasn't that long ago. I've been trying Linux distros on my old laptop that can't boot from the USB drive.

Yeah it was like maybe a few months ago when Fit For An Autopsy came out with their new CD. When the next one comes out, I'm gonna do it again.

no the last time i burned a CD was for kenza by khaled because i could only find the full album in good quality on CD

I burned some mix cds for a 90s themed birthday party a few months ago. Those CDRs had been sitting in a spindle in my attic for 20 years and still worked!

I was having a slow day at work and stumbled onto some old blank CD-Rs. I burned a few Symphony X CDs for my friend. This was in like 2022.

Maybe for you, but not for me. I got to have my Internet Archive software on my 98, and sometimes dameon does not want to work

Nope!

Pretty sure my last burn was a tool album. Pretty sure it was 10000 Days.

Reminds me, I gotta get a stack of CD-R and burn some of my CDs that I've scratched up by rolling around in my car.

At least ten years ago. It was a mix tape cd.

DBAN.

Porn?

Backups. Probably an entire laptop before a rebuild. Probably to install Ubuntu.

I still a couple half-stacks of empty disks I never used...
