Don't forget that they can be dumped to disk, thoguh.  There are now
once-write CD machines for the IBM, but blank disks are $60 each and
only hold 1MB.  The machine has its own format, hence cannot read music
CD's.  From what I understand, CD production is still extremely
difficult and needs a clean room environment.  Sony and Hitachi have CD
ROM machines that are also compatable with music disks, but you can't
write.  It costs $6 per disk to have a disk made in quantities of
10,000.  Compared to the cost of making your own floppies and dongle,
still too expensive.
