Still doing it today. Its not an old thing. I have hundreds of Cds. Best form of physical media for me.

Especially with insanity HDD costs. I did the math, and while ridiculous, buying blank DVDs vs a 12 tb hard drive is only minimally more expensive and discs last longer. HDDs die all the time.

Obviously I still use drives but disks are definitely viable especially as data centers continue to ruin everything.
