For those who use CDs for music, which writable CD type do you use, and why?

Main differences:

  • CD-R can only be written once
  • CD-RW is more expensive

In 2008? CD-R, they're cheap and you aren't going to change the songs on the disc rather than just burn a new disc entirely.

In 2024? micro SDXC card in my phone.

Do any phones even have that anymore?

Pretty sure it's easier to find a phone with a mini SD slot than a phone with a CD player.

But it's easier to find a phone with a CD player than a phone with cassette player.

me with my wax-cylinder phone ๐Ÿ‘€

But it's way easier to find a phone with a micro SD slot than either of those. Mini SD was a thing and it was very short lived.

I forgot what it was called and rolled the dice on mini. I should've known whichever one I picked would probably be wrong ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I don't think I've ever owned a smartphone without one.

Sony phones have SD slots andโ€ฆ gasp a 3.5 mm headphone jack

Okay so my next phoneโ€™s a Sony. Theirs are high-end phones right?

Xperias are definitely flagships in almost every spec except optimizing thermals compared to the competition (which is why they donโ€™t perform as good relatively despite the exact same chip), & not with an affordable Chinese sticker price. The 10 series is even lightweight & can count in the โ€˜small phoneโ€™ category. They are only committed to 2 years of updates, but devices generally seem to get mainiline LineageOS support just by the end of those two years if you are comfortable with custom ROMs. I would assume that price as well as the 2-year updates is a big factor in why the community is more likely to mod devices much later in their lifecycle. Cameras can be okay, but really want their proprietary app. DAC is good.

Mid range Samsungs and pretty much everything that's not made by either Apple, Google, or Samsung still has it. We are just in the ridiculous situation that the more expensive the phone the less functionality it has.
