Hey everyone! Who remembers the good old days of burning CDs? Whether it was making mixtapes for friends, backing up your favorite albums, or just trying out new software, burning CDs was a whole experience. Share your memories: What was your favorite CD to burn? Any funny stories or mishaps?

I didn't burn CDs that often because back in the day I didn't have a computer. I remember going over to a few of my friends houses who did have computers and watching them burn mix cds. I had a friend back in the day give me a burned copy of Green Day's American Idiot, and I remember listening to it off and on growing up. I even found a burned Yellowcard Ocean Avenue CD once in the field down the street from my house when I was a teenager. It barely played though since it was super scratched up. :V

I used to burn mix CDs all the time. I used to give them to my friends all the time and I even had some special ones for certain occasions like a friend's birthday or playing it in the car while out on a date. Good times for sure!

I still burn CD's. But I miss the days of missing the first couple words while you hit record to tape a song off the radio. Having a hundred blank cassettes that were all full of songs taped off the radio. Ninety of them having the same songs over and over.
