this is your sign to start burning CDs for your friends btw
get an external cd drive if you dont have a drive in your computer. they cost like $50 at best buy, you dont need an expensive one
spindles of a truly stupid amount of blank cds are dirt cheap
start downloading your music again so now you have a huge stockpile of mp3s or whatever your preferred digital audio format is
download ashampoo burning studio free if you dont know how to burn cds in 2026, its user-friendly as hell, literally drag and drop and click burn
even if you dont have friends you want to send cds to then fuck it start burning your own mix cds again. keep hard copies of things. one day you will open spotify or apple music or youtube and the album youve listened to religiously will not be there anymore due to something stupid like a distrokid subscription running out. BURN CDS AGAIN
