A time traveler? I've got a list of people I need you to kill to fix the timeline, if you're interested

Fuck man zoomers are such retards

>>127414743 (OP)
Anyburn is free and awesome, very easy to use. I use the pro version though.
https://www.anyburn.com/index.htm

External DVD or Blueray drives can be bought on Amazon, eBay or Aliexpress for cheap. Are useful when you take your laptop to the library and rip all their music and DVD's for free too.

Music rips you only need Anyburn. dBPoweramp is the gold standard for MP3 ripping.

Sometimes people just make a post here that they should've typed into google instead

>>127415051
Zoomer here, please don't group us all in with OP.

>>127414743 (OP)
If your just using MP3s than it's built in to Windows Media Player lol

If you're using other audio formats (like lossless) than I'm not sure the best software, especially for free

>>127415070
Thanks

>>127415548

Don't have any advice other than punch exactly what you typed into ChatGPT.

Please keep CD culture alive, Gen A!

>Please keep CD culture alive, Gen A!
Why even bother LARPing?

>>127415863
CD culture is great. I'm not LARPing. I have discovered so much great music through record stores and thrift stores.

>>127415723
You're welcome. The Anyburn's website has tutorials too. It's super easy though and reliable software. Gets regular updates too. I think you'll like it.

>>127414743 (OP)
should be making minidisc or dat instead

>>127414743 (OP)
these zoomers don't know about disc rot..

>>127415873
>https://www.anyburn.com/index.htm
This is the difference between Pro and Free version. The Free version is super powerful. You'll need Pro if you're planning on converting audio files into other formats.

>>127414743 (OP)
>I think i need to get an external drive
how will you listen to these mix cd's if you dont even have the drive to burn them in the first place

>>127415901
Don't buy shit CD's or DVD's retard. I've never had a CD or DVD do this ever. And all of them work perfectly, no bit losses. Buy shit quality, expect shit quality.

>>127415912
I have a cd player,im not sure if i can use that?? Ill look it up

>>127415947
ah ok, just make sure it is capable of playing cd-r/cd-rw then. i remember being too poor in the 90s and only being able to play cd's, it wouldnt recognize burnt discs :(

>>127415901
works on my machine

>>127415947
Okay i googled it and it looks like i cant so ill have to buy smth

>>127415956
Thanks for the tip!

>>127415731
No Problem

>>127415911
I've used the free and open-source file converter program from https://file-converter.io/ to convert audio if anyone needs to convert things without paying

The setting are super easy to use if you have to change bitrates and things too, and it's very lightweight

>>127415753

This thread is a lot better than a lot of threads on here right now lol

>>127415947
You need a drive on your pc if you want to burn discs

As long as you burn them as audio CDs than you should be able to play them on like 99% of players, some of the old ones don't work but most players are fine (I even have an Optimus/Radio shack old player form 1995 that plays them lol - any player you buy from like 1998 onwards should be able to play them though (I think a lot of modern players specify that they are compatible))

Thanks for all the tips guys!

>>127415070
Not OP but wanted to say thanks, I've been looking for a recommendation of good software to burn non-MP3s that wasn't bloat or adware and this looks solid so I'll give it a try

>>127415901
I've burned tons of discs and I've never had disc rot lol

>>127415938
Real, most disc rot comes from low quality discs. From what I've seen it seems way more rare that people make it out to be. I think if you store the discs well though, even some really low-quality discs can last a longer.

Exact Audio Copy can burn CDs. It's easy, you just need drive that can write to disc and obviously some CDRs. You can also buy empty jewelcases

>>127414743 (OP)
you need a cd oven to bake them

>>127418628
You're welcome!

as for the fucking art/cover, make the fucking art using any free fucking photo editing software like fucking photopea, fucking paint.net, or fucking photoshop. after you fucking finish, fucking print it out yourself nigga.

This site is mostly just assholes and sometimes you find worthwhile discussion. It's few and far between but don't let the retards here kill your spirit.

>>127415753
It brought a good vibe in, making CD mixes is kino. You should make more threads OP.

>>127420282
Real, this thread is kino.

I assume you're running Windows 10/11, so I'll suggest using CDBurnerXP, download that and run the .exe. It's a rabbit hole imo because once you realize you can read/burn CDs with an external CD drive, you'll realize you can do the same with DVD/Bluray drives but that's another story, I digress. The software you downloaded will give you multiple options to write to a disc, but you must choose Audio Disc. Then you should plug in your external drive and pop in a blank CD-R. Open up the files you want to burn in the file explorer. Here's the tricky thing, I have no idea which audio codec (i.e. WAV, MP3 at 320kbps, or AAC at 256kbps) you'd have to burn to the CD-R because when I did it recently, I gave up once I realized my car can't play CD-Rs half of the time so I just gave up. Whatever you have, I would try to make use of all the space (around 700MB per disc) because you can't write to the disc again after the first burn (unless you got CD-RW or Mindisc but you can ignore this note for now). I would also advise to burn at low speeds for read accuracy. After you do all that, you should test it in a car, portable CD-radio player, a walkman/discman, a PS1-3 to see if the burn was successful.
Btw optical media that wasn't officially manufactured has less of a lifespan that official pressings (or burnings if you will).
