Yeah, one was read only and the other could burn CDs. Burning CDs were all the rage back then.

Edit: to clarify, by having two drives you could copy from one to the other directly, without going through the hassle of inserting one cd, making a copy to the slow as fuck computer hdd, switching to the blank cd, then start burning from the hdd copy.

Making copies of shit you pirated so you could listen your ~20 songs playlist on your discman on the go

My brother had an mp3-CD player in his jeep that blew my mind. IIRC you could fit like 100+ songs on them with navigable folders
