gollark: I would generally favour just storing music on regular digital storage (flash/tape/HDD/blu-ray/whatever), but if you want a spinny thing, CDs better, in my IMO opinion.
gollark: I see.
gollark: CDs are superior, since they have very high-quality (lossless 44.1kHz 16-bit) digital audio.
gollark: Just get a CD and duct-tape extra bits around the edges.
gollark: Especially due to its SHEER cost-effectiveness.
