    I had a program that came with special CD Labels for the printer where you could make your own cool CD label covers. that was fun.

    Or going into a Dreamcast IRC channel to download games and burn them to disk. I think I only ever actually bought like 2 Dreamcast games, Shenmue and Seaman, the rest were just burned to CD-Rs.

      I was buying blank DVD’s with printable surfaces, I had an epson inkjet with a tray that would print directly on the disk.

      I would get a shipment of 4 DVD’s from netflix, rip all 4, shrink them down below 4.7G, burn them, print a label on them and put them in a binder. and mail them back out for the next set of 4. The output looked shockingly good. I made it through a spindle or so before i moved on to tversity and stopped dealing with physical media.

        It was so awesome when I bought a LightScribe dvd burner and could put various decorations on the dvd along with the content label. The novelty wore off quickly though.
