It's upside down! Why are we not taking about the real issue. The disks will slide out...

Made for a good haul for the junkies breaking into your car in the apartment parking lot every three months.

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

I still buy CDs. Do I listen to them directly? No, I rip them and go with the FLACs, but it's still nice to have something physical, especially if buying directly from the artist (e.g. at a concert).

My kids have a music player called Yoto. It takes little cards which tells it which playlist to use. This is easy for kids to understand, and lets them listen to stories and music without adding more screen time. The cards don't actually store the music, just tell the player where to download it from.

My wife recently realized we had quite a few of these cards now. So she bought this:

The future is here, and it looks a lot like the past.

That's a CD folder

I kinda miss the days of pirating a movie, burning it to a disk, and then popping it into a DVD player. Like it's objectively more convenient now, with Jellyfin/Emby/Plex media servers that can stream to any device in your home, but it has lost some of the analogue charm of feeling like a hackerman dressed like Neo when you gave a friend or a family member a DVD with sharpie writing on it, and them thinking you were some tech genius lmao.

I remember some software where you could include like a custom DVD menu, where you could press chapters and subtitles and stuff before starting the film, and thinking I was the coolest person in the world when I showed my friends hahahha. Ah good times. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

I found one in a parking lot after 4th of July fireworks. Had mostly original CDs instead of copied CD-Rs. Was quite a collection

im still using mine in my car from 2001

And Games, and Warez

T H E C L O U D is enshittified pretty badly, so maybe it's time for that to go back into style.

I used to have 128 GB MicroSD that I would plug into my phone/laptop/Tablet with movies and music.

But since we can't have nice things anymore - almost no modern devices support it.

CDs for sure but I owned over 2000 DVDs and I never would have done this with any of them.

I bought heavy duty drawers to store my DVDs in inside their cases.

I lost one of those between house moves, with many cds in it

Little me was devastated.

revealing ones age lol

Filled a couple of these with 10p DVDs from charity shops and it's low-key amazing

mp3 mix cds for my car

until i figured out i could rip them to mp3s and put them on a stick. usb plugs on car stereo was a revolution

I need to finally yeet my wallet full of outdated Linux distros

i never cared for these, I feel like they scratched the discs faster than leaving them in the cases

:they-live-sunglasses-off: haha, millennials are no longer young
:they-live-sunglasses-on: entrust your secrets to the cloud

I still have like three of those but haven't looked inside them for at least a few years. Last time was when I needed my Windows disc that I only out of habit put in there in the first place. I just use USB sticks neow~

Actually I just started doing this and got a 7 DVD changer. Same as what I spend in a month for all these random streaming services.
