Jerry - Burning compilation CDs was never difficult,
once you established which brands of blank discs were consistent and reliable
with your equipment and software.
Nero took all the donkey work out of it..

Loading tracks onto an SD Card, or USB stick, is nowhere near as much work as compiling a cassette...

I know all this as fact from too much time spent since 1978
obsessively compiling music on hundreds of cassettes and then perhaps even more CDs
for mates to take to university,
long Band van touring drives of Europe,
and music to persuade stubborn aging musician mates
to listen more widely outside their narow preferences/prejudices...
