What was your first 'backup' CD?

[petey85]

Was just browsing my CDs for something to listen to, and came across my first every 'backup' CD: Travis - The Man Who, I think from 1998. Which is a bloody long time ago if you ask me! I feel very old.
The CD is about twice as thick as a normal one now, and doesn't play too well. The good old days...

So it got me thinking- what was your first copy CD, and do you still have it? More importantly, does it still work? I'm a bit worried that a CD only 11 years old won't play anymore - so much for amazing digital storage.

Think ma first back up ended up as a coffee mat , Had loads of them back in the days lol

The first one I burnt was Hi-5 for the children as I have always had an mp3 player and never needed to burn them to CD. First download was some Kylie album I found on a FTP site which I got via dial-up (took a few hours)

i cant remember the cd i did as it was a while ago, i can remember it being 1998 and i remember more the fact i was fooking about trying to get the sticky cd cover on i had managed to print......without the application press tool thing. I had only purchased the sticky disc bits and didnt know there was a tool to put them on with, oh how i cursed and called them a stupid idea.

1st game was revolt on the pc..still got it.

Mine wasn't a mucic cd, it was tekken on the playstation. I was swapping the discs over with the cd player lid propped open with the inside of a bic biro, or something like that. I suppose that would date it to 1995 (the game, not the biro)

i remember doing that with my old ps1 think it was an xploder cheat cartridge to play back ups. only problem was i never got to complete MGS 1 because you couldnt change the disc

BT PhoneBase 1993 a wonderful dos based program who's only copy protection is a install password "letmein". Still have it though its been written better quality media since the original gold CD media it was burnt to. My first single speed cd burner cost £1,300. And the blank CD's were a tenner.

KLF - 1987 What the Fuck's going on. Withdrawn and never available on CD. Took me about a week to download it from some FTP site

God I remember that. I remember blanks being about ten quid from the fairs and thinking 'jesus I'll never have more than 10 of them".

First ever backup was a compilation of PC applications including QEMM (for the old fogies out there ). It cost me £50 and I was blown away by how much stuff was on a 650MB disc. I do indeed still have it on the origianl gold blank. God I'm old

It was a mix tape, compiled of various tracks -each of which took about 45 minutes to d/l through Napster!

[ilscuro]

It was some audio cd, can't remember which one, but it was about 1996 and I remember my writer was only 1X and i think it took about 40 minutes per cd lol

[BBK]

Honestly I can't remember. I can recall the first tape I pirated - copies of Now Thats What I Call Music, from LP to tape, went down a storm at school

About the same time as me, I had a philips single speed external box as big as my pc (scsi interface), took an hour to copy most things. Was usually music cd's till I got to paying £25 for a blobby then copied it and made a good return on my investment lol.

I had a lot of coasters at first and at £2.50 per CDR it cost me a bit. My first CD I "Backuped" was a Playstation game cant remember which and I did it with CDRWin the dos version it was before the GUI version for Win98 would do Playstation backups I used a Phillips SCSI burner which with a SCSI card cost over £250 and it was over 10 years ago!
