What do you use blank CDs for these days? I have hundreds, and they seem useless.

custom mixes for friends

I burn copies of Ubuntu onto them and give them to friends.

Ah, CDs. Yes. I remember those.

i burn photos I want printed at Costco onto CD. There's no way I'm sticking a memory card into those public upload PCs at the photo counter.

I have a CD player in the car which reads ISO9660 mp3 CDs so I'm making CDs from time to time with new playlists.

[smk]

make one of these

Haha!

I love that the baby play toys are right next to the "crate" in that photo, makes ya wonder don't it?

I still use CDs.

My car plays mp3s but only from CDs; I love having 10+ hours of music on a CD and a six-disc changer. My car stereo supports ID tags and will shuffle play. Great for road trips.

My DVD player plays .avi on CDs and DVDs. I've ripped & converted all my kids dvds to avi files and burnt them on CDs. They just plop one in and turn it on. It auto plays w/o any menus (fbi warnings, commercials for barbie dolls, etc). I can also fit multiple episodes onto one CD whereas many of the DVDs only have 2.

If you live in LA, I'll buy them from you! It's probably not worth shipping since I can usually get 100 for under $10 at the local office supply store.

I have about 200 blank CD-Rs sitting here, slowly rotting.

Until I got an iPod for the car, I kept copies of all my audio CDs in folios in the car. I also made frequent mix-CDs for road trips. They took up most of the back seat.

Now those music CDs are sitting in a box and I haven't burnt a CD-R for anything other that a Linux ISO for a long loooong time. No need to make a mix when a playlist works as well.

CD-Rs don't hold enough data to act as backups anymore. Neither do DVDs, really. 'Still waiting for an affordable archival Blu-ray (or other high-capacity WORM disc) solution...
