While most modern operating systems have basic facilities built in nowadays (Nautilus, a.k.a. For those who have made the switch from proprietary to open source software in recent years, you may be on the lookout for a tool that lets you rip and burn discs with ease. Whatever the reason, there's still a pretty good chance we'll all still be using optical media for years to come. Maybe you need to replace the operating system oh an older machine that just won't boot from USB. Perhaps you drive one of the tens if not hundreds of millions of cars on the road around the globe still sporting a CD player as the primary music player. Need to give away fifty copies of some chunk of data as cheaply as possible? Maybe you want to make a copy of a home movie or the modern version of a mixtape for someone who only has access to a CD or DVD player for playback. But there are millions of people still finding uses for physical discs every day. Personally, I still have years worth of backups, original copies of games and music and movies, that I really ought to make backups of before they deteriorate. Just because I've stopped using DVDs and CDs (and never got into Blu-ray) doesn't mean they've gone away. So why have I been thinking so much about reading and writing those little round discs lately?
Technically I have an external USB CD/DVD device, but I haven't even pulled it out of its box. I haven't had a working computer with an optical media drive in almost a year now, and the truth is, I haven't missed it.
