I’m sorry - but as photographers having had 2 external hard drives crash and 1 we’re not able to open at the moment has made me LOVE CD’s. I like having that initial back up for the master copy of our pics.

” I like having that initial back up for the master copy of our pics.”

USB memory sticks have taken over that function.
The cost per gb keeps going down.
I have two or three of them that I can carry in my pocket, and have never filled any of them.
I can not remember when I last used a CD.

Yes, but you could put so much more on a flash drive. Little 3 inch flash drive can hold several gigs and you are done.

I hope you are using high quality CD’s then and remastering them every year or so.

Ditto, I keep my music on my computer(music I paid for, BTW)but I keep it backed up on CDs along with many other things I want to keep in case my backup drives fail. I learned that lesson the hard way, back in the day.

I had the same thought, and I don’t even have any tunes on my computer. But, if I did, I’d hate to start all over again collecting the music.
