    Consider that CDs can be fairly ephemeral, and I think it’s a lot worse with home-burned CDs. When you grab something out of your home-burned CD collection in 10 years, there’s a pretty good chance that it won’t work or be super glitchy. Harddrives are way better for longterm storage, since you can easily copy the entire collection before the drive fails (and I think the classic magnetic spinny drives, as opposed to SSDs, also have at least better longevity than CD-RWs if you store them unpowered).
