I'm actually considering going back to doing this.. just with blurays.
My data hoarding illness is getting out of hand and m-disks are starting to look attractive to me.

I think burning CDs is a hate crime. They should be loved, and maybe given better wigs
When I was 15 I bought a CD burner for my PC. This was circa 1999 and Napster. It cost about $250 (which is a little over $500 in 2026) and it had to be installed and in a more complex fashion beyond plug USB and let's drivers auto install. I was selling custom CDs for $5 with case inserts and paid off the burner in about a month. Then someone snitched on me in school and eventually burners started becoming standard on all new machines
Remember the audio cable that had to be installed inside from the CD player/burned to the motherboard?
If you didn't install that you couldn't actual hear the music from audio CDs (which had a different format than data CDs) because it was the player itself processing on the fly the audio tracks like the in the standalone audio-only CD players, rather than it coming in as data to the processor (this was probably done like that because the processors back then were pretty weak plus PCs didn't have that much memory and audio CDs had the data in PCM format, which is not compressed, so we're talking tracks of 90MB in systems with less than that in memory).
“Press play on tape one.”
It was 2002. Was going on a 1 year assignment to Australia.
Spent almost 24 straight hours feeding CD after CD into my fancy 6x reader, ripping and converting to MP3. Brought my whole 5' high tower of music on the plane in a harddrive.
Almost 25 years later(!), same direcory has been added to and copied to a hosted VPS from which I stream.
They're burning to see deez nuts! Got 'em!
It’s slang for using Nero burning ROM
And people still say Germans lack a sense of humor…
My son who's 15 now had a word problem when he was about 9. It was something like "Billy burned 9 CDs and April burned 4 CDs, how many CDs did they have in total". He asked me for help because he didn't understand how the answer wasn't 0 CDs. FML.
CDz burning nutz!
Might wanna see a doctor.
"How is burning a CD supposed to make a copy, again?"
It softens the plastic so you can press it to the original and copy the grooves

“Buffer underrun.”
enlaserfication
I was referring to vinyl records sold in stores. That stuff is definitely copy written. I’ve never taped any radio stuff before so I don’t know the legality of that stuff.
