Title: Downloading music from internet onto CD's
Post by: Mizzkizz7 on December 13, 2019, 09:44:03 pm: Does anyone still burn music off their computer onto a CD? I still do it. I know technology has changed and there are so many ways to get music now.

Post by: aflyingmonkey on December 14, 2019, 08:36:50 am: No. I don't burn cds any longer off anything.

I'm old enough to remember holding a cassette player up to the TV to record... Good Times, not. The youth of today don't know how lucky & easy they have it with streaming -- but I guess that pretty much could be said of the youth of most generations. :)

CD's are nice to have when the power goes down, your portable battery operated player still can entertain you and they are customized for your own musical playlists! I also use them in the car for a change from the streaming hassle while I drive!

Post by: gtdoss on December 14, 2019, 05:35:00 pm: I used to record music from the internet onto CDs, and given that I was born in 1961, I really thought it was magical, LOL! I only deal with MP3s nowaday, plus I don't listen to music near as much as I used to. I can pretty much just listen to any music I want to hear on YouTube and then I'm done with music for a while. :peace:

Post by: pectacon on December 16, 2019, 08:16:02 am: I haven't burned a CD in years. I actually never burned many at all, to this day most CDs and DVDs I've burned on my computer have refused to play on any device including the computer I just burned it on ten seconds ago! I mostly stream off youtube and for the few things I want to make sure I can access without wifi, I will download it onto my phone.

Post by: killers2 on December 16, 2019, 11:36:55 am: I did this a couple years ago still. I like listening to music in the car. I still listen to CDs I like having the physical thing sometimes.

Post by: tjshorty on December 16, 2019, 03:17:41 pm: I quit doing that years ago. After another company charged me for music I already had on my computer. So I don't mess with it anymore.

Post by: singletonb on December 17, 2019, 08:35:11 pm: I don't listen to music as much as I did before so I don't have a need to download onto CD's
Title: Re: Downloading music from internet onto CD's
Post by: claudegrizzle on December 18, 2019, 12:58:12 am: No, because I always seem to have great difficulty doing this. Sometimes I will burn one CD onto another, but nothing from the internet. It's usually just audiobooks though because I don't listen to a lot of music anymore. It's probably just easier to have a streaming service like Spotify, or listen to music via Youtube anyways nowadays.

No. I don't have anything to play CDs on anymore.

Isn't this the irony? We said the same thing in the past about vinyl, 8 tracks, cassettes, and now CDs... It makes me wonder what technology is going to replace mp3's, when that will happen, and how will we be converting our existing music libraries over to the new format.

Post by: Kimdud22 on December 26, 2019, 07:50:07 pm: No but I have been wanting to. I use to do that a lot in my teen years!

Post by: stevensm4 on December 27, 2019, 07:24:36 am: I don't but I wouldn't mind doing it if it afforded some advantage that other means to listen to music doesnt have.

Post by: ghunter on December 27, 2019, 07:32:52 am: No, I don't do it anymore and I don't remember the last time I did that. Don't play CD's anymore.
