Have never burned CDs, but I assume I would take our CD player (which i'm pretty sure has a burning mode), plug it in to my computer, and look up "how to burn CDs"

Maybe its just the generation z in me but how did people burn CDs? Like how did you just get a blank CD and put songs on it?

There are people alive that don't know how to burn CDs. I'm fucking old.
To be frank I am a 30 year old and had to think hard to remember how to burn a cd, and even then. I remember that you just picked the option to burn a cd lol. Remember when you actually needed 2 cd rom drives because images weren't a thing.

They must consult the ancient tomes. Or I guess ask one of us who have.
I still have my old CD holders somewhere.
I used CloneCD. It had an icon of a sheep. Because Dolly.
I'm Gen Z and have burned both CDs and DVDs...
I can't believe that some didn't learn it, especially growing up in the 2000s prior to the iPhone/iPad.
So we had special disk drives that basically zapped holes in a CD that played music or stored data. That's why we call it 'burning'
And get this: You didn't burn 4000 CDs. You burned one, sent it up to Sony in New Jersey, they cracked it open and then pushed it again polymer en masse to duplicate the CD. They called this "pressing."

The household tower when I was young had 2 CD drives. The actual computer wasn't much, but boy, do I remember all the burning my mom had me do for her peoples
I never learned to burn CD's cause I had a friend whose dad burned them for us. Not sure if that makes anyone feel old or not.
Don't worry, even in Gen Alpha there are some people who know how to burn CDs (in theory), but probably never did, as it is not so widespread now.
