gollark: I mean, with computercraft you could just make arbitrarily large amounts of floppy disks too.

gollark: I think it's separate, and a 32 minute one is 11.52MB.
gollark: I've got a playback program which loads tapes from chests, reads their metadata, and randomly picks tracks to play, then loads the relevant tape, seeks a bit and plays to the end. It switches in a second or so so it's actually not that awful.
