    Pysical is not the opposite of digital.

    Analog is the opposite of digital.

    A CD is a digital medium, just like an SSD is.

    If you want a rotating disk medium which is analog, you would need to get a vinyl.

      Haha yeah, I think SpiceDealer’s comment inadvertently supports the notion it’s meant to dispel.

      But to be fair, the media world has been using the word “digital” to mean “electronic delivery” for a long time.
