What does it mean by burning CDs? For anyone who wants to comment again, please do know that someone has already explained and my nofications is also already well fed thank you, you don’t need to comment anymore.
Dude, that was one of my side hustles at school! My aunt worked for a tech company and gave me a box full of free CD-Rs so I used to charge $10 for a blank cd, $20 for a burned cd with your Playlist. Limewire and another software (not napster) was what I would use. The window and door would remain open to let the heat out while blasting the a/c. Good times. 🤓
I was this girl. Once people found out that I could record the audio off of RU-vid videos, convert it to Mp3 files for their mp3 players and put it onto thumb drives, it was game over. The list got so insane my dad had to start saying no to kids for me because I was such a pushover I would say yes and get stuck at the desktop for like 4 hours finding, listening to each song to make sure it was the right version andbthere weren't stupid edits (which were huge then) and then restarting, and recording the songs every night lol.
@@ms.pirate Really though. In middle school the girl I knew before I learned skills myself, charged like $5 for Rollercoaster Tycoon and other games, which really makes her higher level criminal, because some things aren't as criminal if you're not making money. Or for instance the uploader not the downloader is who they charge in some countries.
@@sweetlizzy8831 You're not always getting what you searched for. Could end up with a video of anything as even the Short jokes about. Probably got some disgusting video while trying to download the latest episode of a TV show.
@L sauce I was a teenage boy downloading adult content. I didn't know that people used codes in their file names when they were sharing illegal material, and I accidentally downloaded 1 image that was CP. That was over 20 years ago, and I'm still disturbed and disgusted by what I saw.
It was a MESS. You needed to make sure what you downloaded was legit and RU-vid wasn't around before 2005 so Limewire it was! Then you needed to correctly burn the CD (mistakes happen often) and it took at least 10-20 minutes depending how much you put on it (could take up to an hour). Some CD are rewritable while others are not so you needed to be sure your playlist was FINAL or else you needed to burn a new one. I dont miss it one bit!
Dude, once we tried to get Britney and ended up with Oops I Did It Again sung by Wheatus. Yes, it's good. Also I recommend the song Detachable Penis by King Missle. It was every wrong other file that wasn't porn.
@@therizztitan they mean that every other file that wasn’t porn was the song they mentioned. so like every “wrong” file as in “a download of something pretending to be the song i wanted but that was actually not”, was either porn or that song
or downloading and then freezing in the middle, finding different versions from random people who covered the song and not in a good way, 6 different viruses and 3 mp3 turned out to be porn vids XD
Yeah and never set it to the max 52x write speed. It always effd up and skipped. I always had to turn mine down to 16x speed to make sure it was a good copy every time. Sucked waiting that long though. And what's the deal with it getting to 99% complete in 8 minutes, but then "finalizing disc" was like ANOTHER 6 MINUTES!!
6??? It took me 8 min to get to 95% and half an hour to get it to finish. And couldn't do ANYTHING in the computer in the meantime or everything would crash and the CD was useless.
Hurry up you modem! Why is no one peering this damn file!?!? Damn it! It’s limp bizket again! “HEYYY SONNNN. WHERED YOUD FIND THIS!?!?? TRAPOHOLICS!!!!!”
i was born in 2004 lmao but burning cds and giving them to people as gifts (with custom photoshop covers) is my hobby so i did actually relate to this. isn’t that crazy
No. Burning CDs is one thing, hunting on Limewire was a whole other experience. If you were born in 2004 then I really doubt you ever had a reason to do that.
That’s if you were an evangelical teen. There used to be youth group events where you’d bring your secular CDs and copies of Harry Potter to throw in the bonfire.
Limewire took up so much of my time when I was 14, I remember picking all the songs, making sure EVERYONE in the house knew I was downloading songs so they didn’t touch the dial up and then going outside and jumping on the trampoline while the songs downloaded. I would run back inside every ten minutes to see what songs had made it onto my MP3 player. Mind you my family of 6 only allowed this maybe one a month lol My dad did not like the phone line being held up that much and we SHARED a family computer.
omg i used to do this for people back in school! it evolved to sending the mp3 files over msn to them as well. if i couldn’t find it on limewire i would use the youtube to mp3 thing and sometimes even trim it down in windows movie maker of all things as save it as an mp3 to cut out any beginning or end bits. all in the name of popularity lol
I still do this in 2023 for friends with cars that have old stereos, easy income and massive nostalgia trip when I get to bust out the old Toshiba satellite and listen to that dvd drive roar as it brings back childhood memories of watching my dad make his own CDs
Limewire forever traumatized me and made me scared of men at a young age. I saw something I never should of and it made me look at men in a whole new light….pure evil.
@@sarascarpati887No special reasons or anything. They were there to trick people into watching messed up stuff and to share messed up stuff to other messed up individuals. Similar to jumpscares. That’s just how early internet was. Scrubbing violent content from public sites is a fairly recent development. Even RU-vid used to have beheading and gore videos at some point.
You forgot the part where you didn’t actually get the song you wanted on Limewire half the time and instead got Bill Clinton’s “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” speech over and over.
I still have a ton of the cds I burned back in the early 2000s. I would write the entire playlist in a spiral starting from the outside, and working toward the centre of the cd.
It only took me like 45 mins to burn a CD. I was doing it all the way up until 2011-2012 for my basketball team. (We ran out to music on game day and the system in our gym was pretty old)
I was gonna say that you should've had her mom on the phone and her begging to have an hour to download the last song before I realized this was 2000s and not the 90s lol
Roxio Toast was a game changer for burning CDs back in the day. I used to be that CD burning Queen thanks to my dad and my brother being obsessed with it. My dad even bought a burner which also came with a printer. And yes - I took advantage of making my work beautiful!
I would individually download audio from RU-vid and then edit the files so it had all the album/song/genre info. Sometimes the album cover would automatically show up if I did a good job 😅 (this was when ipods were a thing)
Ah! The good old days! Giving aids to your computer just for a game or a song. And she forgot to show what happened if someone picked up the phone while you were downloading something. Good times!
@@artemis3306 dude! I played VHS tapes when I was 1 to 11 years old. I did alot of things you millennials did in the early 2000s! I'm not a middle schooler!
@@artemis3306 i also knew what a cassette player was and its not because of Google!! Google wasn't around when I was first born!!! Everything was internet explorer when the flash games were around!!!
I still cherish my cd mixes that my best friend made me from 2000-2002. He passed away in ‘03 and to say that they are precious to me is an understatement. The amount of hours he spent on these mixes…😅❤️ RIP MATTHEW 338 LOVE YOU
I'm so glad I knew what burning a CD means before these kids were even born. And yet everyone assumed that an adult Gen Z like me don't know what a VHS is 🤦♀️ I WATCHED VHS MOVIES SINCE I WAS 1 YEARS OLD IN 2001!!!
I don't remember doing this in 2003 but once iTunes was big it became sooo much easier to burn cds. I was making my own mix cds in the late 00s early 10s.
