CD's? HA! When I was young we copied music with hammer and chisel on a stone disc. And that WAS the actual music!

In high-school I used MagicISO to rip DVDs I rented, burned them, and sold them to classmates for $5.

It was a nuisance, with a high failure rate. Recording to tape was kind of fun. Optical not as much.

Don’t forget to hold the CD and candle close to the speaker that’s playing the song. The closer you get, the higher the volume.

God I used to hate DJ's that would talk up to the post. Used to record all my music from the air from the late night DJ's because they would often just queue up a few songs with no talking.

I was behind a kid in Chipotle last week that had an honest to god Walkman on him with the original headphones. it seemed WAY larger than I remembered.

Remember when Netflix mailed DVDs? We would rip and make copies as soon as the mail was delivered, to try to get them back to the post office before 3pm. I think you could rent 3 or 4 disks at a time?

you had a tiny needle and a little hammer, and you would look through a jeweler's loupe to see where to carve in the 1s and the 0s. It was a golden age.

I have no idea what these "CDs" folks are talking about are.

Excuse me while I pop in my 8-track

it is a lost art now, I still have an unopened box of DVDs... Somewhere.

I have very fond memories setting up the candle and tuning the laser prism just right, following Razor 1911 instructions to set everything up correctly. While trying not to burn a hole in the walls of the house.

If you ever tried to burn way too many songs to a CD and got frustrated that it didn't work... it's time to stretch your back.
