I just found an old AOE2 CD. What is the best way to play online?
As far as voobly is concerned you can install AoE2Tools and immediately after installing you'll see a Launcher window click Scan wait for 20 sec or less then the button "2.Start" will be unlocked; click it and finally you'll be prompted to install a hotfix and other things on the fly (takes less than 30 secs) Now just join voobly and play (the platform automatically handles patches for all users)

AOE2 Resource List
Of course you can buy and play the game on Steam which is what most people do these days, however before the days of AOE2 on Steam (and post MSZone) people used to play on Voobly - and many still do. If you want to play on Voobly, but have the games on steam you may want to take a look at AoE2 Tools.

AOE2 HD version in 2021?
But yeah, I played for years using Wololo Kingdoms mod + AoE2 HD + Voobly. It's still fun even without all the things DE brings. There's also this tool to make that setup even easier. I wouldn't recommend playing multiplayer on HD, just stick to Voobly, much better experience.

Out of sync error on game replay
You might have a chance by first downgrading AoE to the same version as the one that was used to save the game (there are a few tools to do that — like DE Replays Manager, wololo-downgrader or AoE2 DE Patcher), though I'm not sure it'll stay possible for very long ( /u/cyanide may have more to say about that).
