Now you have to worry about water damage, rodents, and bugs, wind, and
drops.

That's why I've decided to backup my mp3 collection to punch cards. The 
main drawback is I'm going to need to build a huge warehouse to store my 
  collection. If I re-encode everything down from 192kbps to 128kbps I 
can reduce the size by a about 200,000 square feet.
