    Do people not still do this? Isn’t it the most convenient way to store loads of DVDs and CDs?

        Honestly yeah, I like having my CDs in their cases on the shelf so if I want to listen to a specific CD I can take it out and play it in a CD player. Sure I have so much music at my fingertips thanks to streaming, but there’s something really personal about taking a disk to listen to it. I guess I understand now what people used to say about vinyls back in the day

      I have one that i last updated in 2012 still. I had a nexflix subcription with 3 movies mailed to me that I’d rip in DVDfab and burn to another DVD and mail back the same day i received the movies.

      I do, because DVDs can’t get pulled from streaming services or be region locked, and it’s worked out cheaper to buy discs than subscribe to yet another service
