Benjojo's Optical Media Survey

I filled it out. Today, my main use of optical media is that I still buy music CD&#x27;s, typically from indie artists at their performances. On numerous occasions I&#x27;ve asked them how to buy their stuff, so that the money actually goes to them, and not to a middleman. The answer is always the same: &quot;Buy the CD.&quot; Some of these artists are not super sophisticated about online distribution.<p>Then I take the CD home and rip it onto my NAS using a USB optical drive.

None of my primary computers have a built in drive but I have an older computer that I don&#x27;t use that has it (an old imac G4) so I answered &quot;external&quot;.<p>I&#x27;ve used floppy disks more recently than optical media...

It was interesting to find out I skipped the blu-ray era. Went straight from CD&#x2F;DVD to streaming, even if I still use audio CDs for my car stereo.
