I somehow have a bunch of blank cd and dvds that i got from thrift stores and parents. There good for some linux os’s but besides that im not sure what else to put on them or do with them. I would like to create a sort of binder for rainy days with various media but im stumped.

Im asking what type of media i should put on theses dvds/cds. I would do music but im not the biggest music fan sadly.

    If you have a car with a CD player, I’d recommend burning some CDs. It’s so refreshing having a small collection of banger CDs to choose from. Not to mention that you can insert and eject without being too distracted.

      I used to go to Wikipedia and click the random article button to get a name for my burned mix CDs. I think my favorite was called “mountaintop removal”.

      Whose ready for some AOL ultimate Frisbee?

      To answer the question, I don’t think they should be used for anything. Keep a small stack for a rainy day and get rid of the rest. There is a reason they are all it thrift stores and being given away for free. Their are much better alternatives out their for storage. Unless you are a hoarder. Then, just add them to your pile of crap you will never use/need again.

      I have burned thousands of CD/DVDs in my life but maybe only 10 in the past 15 years or so.
