    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.

        I posted a scathing reply to their post, but then lost confidence in it when it occurred to me they might have been joking, like deliberately getting it wrong to join in the joke OP posted.
