Realizing I have to explain what "CD audio" is and how that's different from "files on a CD" for my new blog post, because a bunch of potential readers are too young to have encountered it the first time around
Oh come the fuck on they still sell CDs I knew what fucking vinyl was in 1995
yeah but a lot of people didn't understand CDDA even at its height. The number of times I had to handhold someone through converting some MP3s to a CD CUE + WAV files because they tried just slopping them onto a disc and were perplexed as to why it didn't work in their CD player
My (Generally very technically capable) mother, once she got ahold of napster, started burning dozens of CDs with music and audiobooks and when we were on a long car trip and she wanted to listen to one, we popped it into my CD player
And whoops. She'd made them all UDF. So she got to put up with Two Mix and Initial D OST tracks for that trip.
