💾💽💿📀 Important PSA 💾💽💿📀
"Floppy disk" (with a "k")
A single thin and flexible plastic disk coated with a magnetic medium, inside a plastic shell. Yes, all variants are floppy disks, including 3.5", 5.25", 8" and some rarer variants. Removable.
"Hard disk" (with a "k")
One or more hard platters [usually made from metal or glass], coated with a magnetic medium, inside a rigid, air-tight shell. Usually not removable.
"Optical disc" (with a "c")
A single rigid plastic multi-layered disc with one or more metal layers that contain data. Most don't have a shell, though some variants do. Removable.
The disk/disc distinction is by convention.

Do you remember the Sony “Mavica”? It was an early digital camera that recorded images *onto a 3.5-inch floppy disk!* 🤯 It was slow but the disks were ubiquitous and so storage was e…

And no, "floppy disk" is not short for "floppy diskette".
Same as "hard disk" isn't short for "hard diskette".

I just wrote a prompt that I wrote a batch file for ... 33 years ago.
"Run a full sweep hardware test. Your tool list is ~/tools/list.md"
Here's the book I used back then to create my magic floppy. Now I made a magic USB stick with #Ubuntu and #Codex

"Diskette" refers to the complete medium, aka the floppy disk inside the shell.
It's using a dimuitive because when IBM introduced 8" diskettes in the 1970s they were substantially smaller than hard disks at the time. (Note that hard disks back then often were removable and semi-portable, often 14" in size).

In summary, if you want great audio quality use:
- Vinyl records
- CDs
- Well-recorded cassettes
- Super Audio CDs
- Audio DVD and Blu-ray
- Lossless digital files
- Lossless streaming
- DAT
- DCC
- Minidisc (some variants)
- high bitrate compressed audio files
- MIDI files on floppy disk
- hire a live band
