Burning CDs in the #early2000s was absolute chaos! #millennials #nostalgia

Mel’s back must hurt from carrying the whole party

“BURN THE CD NOT THE PC!”

I did this for everyone in my neighborhood at 8 years old..😭😭😭

This is chaotic-

“Oh this persons name already did it but thank you though!” Worst feeling ever

I was this girl. Once people found out that I could record the audio off of YouTube 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.

No lie, Limewire was responsible for the most damaging mental scar from my entire youth.

presses play “MY FELLOW AMERICANS-“

THIS WAS HOW HARD IT WAS??!?! Geez, I knew Dad had a bunch of CDs with old songs but now I know why he refused to make new ones

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. 🤓

Omg. The downloading of everything and it turning out to be porn or a virus. This video unlocked core memories.

"That is NOT. greenday." I felt that

THE WAY SHE CASUALLY SAID "okay, computer virus😍" SO CALMLY IN FRONT OF HER DYING COMPUTER😭

Omg, Limewire! Not sure if I should be nostalgic or traumatized 🤣

I can't stop seeing your videos they're soo good!

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!!

OMG, the flashbacks hit hard. Damn, it feels like it was yesterday, while it was so long time ago.

This isn't even funny. It's just true. This was life in the early 00s. Especially the chaos.

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
