Our archive is too large already. Documents, although discouraged
already, do not take up much space. However, a single CD would comprise,
what 45megs? I think that music doesn't belong in the archive, for the
sake of music. I mean how hard is it to download a .mp3? it's not like
it has to conform to some standard location on the harddrive or
anything. It doesn't need to be packaged, with dependencies.
