Field notes
The page treats disc burning as a sequence of deliberate choices rather than a file-transfer task. Its framework puts the strongest material around tracks three or four, recommends tempo changes near tracks five and nine, and reserves special weight for the final track. Other sections address handwritten artwork, playback locations, disc damage, and the construction of a shelf-sized personal archive.
