    Lies. CDs are useful for ripping to FLAC and then putting away in a box somewhere never to be seen again.

      I must be uninformed. What is FLAC, and should I be using it?

        Yes. MP3 was good for making a really small file but it lost quality, flac makes a small(ish) file but no audio information is lost at all. With current storage capacities its worth it.

      That’s the main reason I buy cds. It is near impossible to get a flac copy online for some artists.

      They’re useful if opsec lets you bring them into secure areas. Sealed. And they only get to leave shredded.

    i actually burned a cd yesterday… a boot disk for a utility.

    only to find the system i needed it for didn’t support legacy boot, and the boot image didn’t have uefi support.

    i had to take out an audio cd to burn it… so yea, cd do get used here… occasionally. probably been a year or more since that audio cd had been played.
