Thumbdrives allow you to store a crapload of MP3 and M4A files, but CDs
contain AIFF files which have an excellent, uncompressed quality. We're
comparing apples to oranges here.


You can store anything you want on computer media.

The real issue will be whether or not your target device is smart
enough to read that data off of whatever media you have selected.

3rd party hardware device support and the network effect problem is
the real issue here.


Pardon?
CDs contain raw uncompressed PCM, as do AIFF files but there are no AIFF
headers or tail ends on a CD.
