Im just wondering what was the last dvd or cd you burned and what was it for? So you all still use dvds or cds? or have you found a alternative media?

    I recently purchased an older vehicle that came with a standard CD player and no AUX input. Setting down to plan and burn a dozen CD-Rs was quite nostalgic. I was surprised the local mega-mart actually had them in stock.

      I had a car stereo like this and I soldered a 3.5mm jack to where the audio comes into the main board from the CD player. The pins were even labelled.

      A CD had to be playing for the amplifier section to be activated, so I burned a CD of silence that I made in Audacity. 👍

        This is a memory trip haha! I never had to do this because I had cars with cassette decks, but folks with newer cars (maybe 07 or so?) were doing this. Auto forum days.

      My car has a CD player also, and burning CDs is certainly more convenient than using the cassette player. (I did purchase the car new, but I guess I’ve had it a while)
