In Reply to: he ripped from CDs and burned to his hard drives so the terms were used correctly /nt posted by hermanesque on February 5, 2007 at 20:41:22:
Sorry hermanesque - not trying to be a PITA here, but the original poster said ***I burned about 700 cds*** and that was the point I was clarifying. And the terminology was incorrectly stated.A CD-Recorder ("Burner") writes data to a disc by selectively HEATING parts of an organic dye layer in the disc with a LASER in its write head. This is where the nickname "burn" came from.
Hard disks record data by magnetizing a magnetic material in a pattern that represents the data. There is no "burning" here and that would be incorrect terminology to state so.
