I used to make mix cds all the time.

I enjoy burning CDRs for myself too. But just a FYI, the failure rate is pretty high after 5 years. I don’t think I still own a CDR that still plays after 10 years. I have hundreds of retail CDs I bought in the 80s that still play fine. I’m 55. I’ve been a music collector my entire life.

I make my own music now, it's awesome, go on youtube and download anything and put it on cdr, I use cd's and cdr's for my cars, they always sound better than an ipod, you guys are hardcore if you make copies of any cd for car travel, not a bad idea but way to involved for me.

I'm also studying to be a cage fighter

I burn CDs in 2024 because I got a great deal on a couple of 50 pack tubes of brand name blank CD-Rs. Unfortunately none of our cars have CD players anymore.

How are artists going to survive if people don't buy their music?

you look like a kool Idubs, great video man i burn CDs to play with certain games i own on my pc. Audio Surfer and stuff like that

Have a whole brand new pack of blank Dvds purchased around 10 years ago, But my new PC doesn't have a DVD player or writer! Lol

Whats the best app to use?

Man, I was going through same thing for three years before I could get over it and move on with my life. Only one thing matters, is to not commit suicide at any cost. Anything else is nothing

Cool selection and you are a connoisseur with music dude. Thanks for sharing and I will be checking these albums out! It’s been a min since I’ve listen to ambient but I’m more on the post-rock ambient side of things and some of the last groups I heard were: Rachika Nayar Sownbones Eluvium Warmth Disassembler Claire Rousay Peals … and love Blood Incantation’s album ‘Time Wave Zero’. Cheers!

I just got into Dead Can Dance from one of your What I’ve Been Listening To videos. I’ve never listened to anything like it! I normally listen to pop punk or pop/hip hop so it’s cool to expand my palate

I assume you're familiar with Bel Canto's "Shimmering Warm and Bright" kzfaq.info/sun/OLAK5uy_kSp1ewXCy7jTLl886lId9Tn3MjI-Xo1iQ&si=oLWr5GfPXHKT-Ac-

give biosphere a look, would recommend substrata as a more of a atmospheric album and patashnik 2 as a more of an ambient-techno album

Speaking of dungeon synth i think you'll like this local project kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrinmpucqdixe2g.htmlsi=3njH6VPbPie5tjSD

I was going to recommend My Bloody Valentine to you but you beat me to it 😂 I think you would enjoy the 1987 album "Heaven's End" by the English band Loop: kzfaq.info/sun/OLAK5uy_ma-G0z2PwLCTyZ6DEDbHZIG7TH_RzqPiY&si=wKosoACpbiAkz2Y7

Anthony Fantano who??? nice vid bro! ❤

It's an art. You burn a CD and make the songs mesh together like perfectly matched gears..make a cool custom cover for the case and give it to a friend. It was perfect for my interest in stoner rock. My iTunes library looked nothing like my classic rock record/cd collection. It was fun...i was in my 40s and discovering things like Clutch , Corrosion, Zakk, Scott Weinrich and all his bands, mystik krew of clearlight and Atomic Bitchwax. Damn...i wish i could find those burned CDs. I enjoyed my midlife crisis.

I’m OG and nothing beats physical media, nothing, IMO!

I still burn CD's

could you do a video why you paint your fingernails?

Hey man, new viewer of the channel here and I love what you've been doing with talking about your collection, physical media, and your monthly listens. This video really clicked and opened up some memories I have of burning CDs and listening to music as a kid in the early 2000s. I used to have a Sony Diskman (Sony Walkman Sport for cassette tapes) that skipped like shit whenever I hooked it on my pants and going to yard sales and thrift stores was where my siblings and I got most of our things like that, a lot of my foundational childhood music experiences came from that, my own dad showing me music, and long family car rides babyy (Foo Fighters, Wolfmother, Metallica, Guns-N-Roses, AC-DC, Joss Stone, Jurassic 5, Atmosphere, Switchfoot are a few). Going to the public library in Idaho, picking out albums and burning them to CDs for my own listening has always been a core childhood experience for me. Over these past couple of years I’ve been getting back into- sort of reclaiming what had been lost over the years- the physical media aspect of the music I listen(ed) to, and through 2022-2023 it really blew up for me. I guess a dam had built and burst and I decided I needed to take my music listening and collection seriously again, plus I’ve played instruments all throughout school and my family has always been around musicians like my uncles. Music has always been around me. Anyways now its cassette tapes (even going so far as to repair and mod some 80s boomboxes), CDs, and records and watching your channel has weirdly crystalized the thought that maybe I should start making videos documenting my music listening too, big ups to the inspiration man. Ive felt this incessant drive, this hunger to discover and discuss music but living in such a small town and feeling physically isolated from others that share a similar passion and drive for music has made it hard to share with people in person, working full-time nightshift and trying to stay off social media definitely impacts that XD. Recently I finished renovating a spare room that my boyfriend and I stay in and its become my collection and listening room. I gotta say that your taste in music, room decor, and general vibe is what has brought me into your channel, it just clicks. I keep a rotating stack of CDs in my truck (I need to get a dongle and disk reader and start burning my own CDs again) and currently its some metal albums of Gorod- Leading Vision, Gojira- Terra Incognita, Carnosus- Visions of Infinihility, Carnosus- Dogma of the Deceased, Job for a Cowboy- Democracy, and an extra Hobosexual- Monolith to top it off with some heavy metal stoner blues rock. Love the videos, man. You’ve got a good thing going and shits not that easy, so take care of yourself and create when the passion strikes.

👍

Tyler. been ewatching you fer a bit. What do u use to burn? just your craptop? i just bought a new sanyo and marantz rack mounted decks, for my recording studio/indoor hockey/curling rink . besides using it to mix/master my origin-iLL $hit, i make mix disx 'n' still make mix cassettes for my sports teamates and band/ensemble mates, in all genres of AmeriCanadian and global idioms, genres and styles of music. sometimes i'll take out something from the loc-iLL library, or Pandora, that i cannot find. for example, i just did Pre Family, Crimso, Asia/UK John Wetton band Mogul Thrash, as well as John Coltrane, Grandmaster Flash, The Barry Gordie Howe Towne Proto Pun/prog band Death. Cheers from aa Detroiter now in SpoCanada.

Certain Wal-Marts still carry the OMM brand cases and different brands of cd-rs. It’s great to have a mix of different genres/songs on a disc to play in the car. I wish the newer vehicles came with cd players. Not everyone just wants to stream. Take care…

I still make CDs myself! For Mac I use XLD to rip them and Burn to burn them. They have more options than iTunes/Music which I had used for many years and is still good for sure.

Nothing is assured or promised in streaming. You have no guarantees the music, movies and TV that’s there now will be there tomorrow. Better start getting smart about all this and get copies of what you want if you’re able. You have zero say on if it will be here tomorrow.

I still burn a bunch to play in my truck!

I don't burn CD's. But I do still buy 'em. Have been, since 1986. Just surpassed 2,000 titles, recently. My CD shelving takes up an entire wall of my apartment. None of my friends understand why I still buy music in physical format. 💿💿💿💿

I still burn CDs. It’s the simplest way to play lossless music without a physical release on my stereo without resorting to Bluetooth. I have tried multiple times to set up a streamer to play locally hosted files but could never get it to work right. CDs, though outdated, just work. Additionally, I’ve been on a cassette kick recently and have been recording music from my vinyl and CDs onto tapes. I digitized a bunch of cassettes I made, and threw them on a USB stick for the car. My friends think I’m crazy for doing that, but I think it’s fun.

Love this. Still burn CDs. Still make mix CDs. Never stop! 🤘

I was told by an electronics professional who repaired my CD player that CD-R's caused the problems I'd been having playing my discs. He warned me that they make the laser work harder to bring up the info on the disc.

yes!! I doo too!! love this!!

why have you got nail varnish on 🤮

I used to have a CD-R of three albums by Herman’s Hermits. Both Sides Of Herman’s Hermits/Hold On! Soundtrack/Blaze. 31 tracks and 66 minutes.

If its gonna be outside the house, any master CD I backup for travel.

I buy them on eBay used or brand new but there expensive

What type of blank cds u use to burn ur cds I like the Memorex white blank cds 💿 cause it’s easier to write ✍️ on them The other blank cds have different colors

Me and my friends used to burn cds all the time when we had a cd player in the car. Still have some laying around, just haven't had anywhere to play them.

Hell yeah! I’ve been trying to lessen my streaming habits and get more into physical music, good to see people also get into it too.

I do this too. In fact its kind of gotten out of hand. Stuff that you cant find on disc, or super rare expensive out of print albums and demos. I eventually just started uploading it all up to Kunaki and doing the CDrs that way.

love the vids mate, watching from Australia. i commented a while back about dr hook did u get the chance to listen to them? I'm also getting into making my own physical media, using cassettes though.

Maybe a paint marker might hold better for the CDs

Yeah, I’m the same way as far as carrying CD’s in the car. I haven’t ever made cover art for them but I’ve made custom j-cards for cassettes before. There’s something more “real” and relatable about a tangible album, even if it’s handmade.

love ur vids man, so chill

Boards Of Canada is always great to listen to, they are amazing. Thanks for sharing your list dude, a lot of material I have not listen to yet. This past month I listened to a lot of Los Campesinos, Scarcity, Vimur, and Respire. Hope all is well and cheers.

More Videos- Always Interesting knowing what’s Up With You -

Just found your channel and have been binging all your videos. Keep up the killer work man!

what record player is that? I have been looking to buy my first one.

you remind me of Rik Elswit from dr hook, should give them a listen if u haven't such a cool band
