Did you ever burn music to a CD?

[Laura Evans]

I recently found a tool that helps me burn downloaded songs to a CD as my friend's birthday gift.

Burning music to CDs is rare in 2025 due to streaming dominance, but some still do it for nostalgia, offline use in older devices like car stereos, custom mixes, or archival purposes. CD sales have plummeted since the 2000s, and it’s now a niche practice.

If you were born in the last two decades, I think you would have gotten the opportunity to burn music to CD. I did this often with my siblings when we are still mischievous children.

Yeah, that's how I got started with music on a computer.

Yeah, that's how I got started with music on a computer.

This should be many years ago, right? Because that is not a practice that is still common nowadays.

No, I don't know know how to do it. In fact, I never paid any attention to it when I was a kid as other kids find it to be something fun doing it.

You didn't find it to be fun or you are not allowed to play with other kids, I guess these might be the reason for not knowing how to do it.

I had more than 50 CDs I worked with. They were all songs. It's very unfortunate that they all ended up being bad because that's normal with CDs after a while.

Yes, I have burned music to a CD before, mostly to create playlists or share songs with friends. It was a simple way to organize music before streaming became common.
