1. Kid at record store said "CDs are dead" and I had to walk away before I explained how a 700MB lossless file is still smaller than a 78-minute Red Book disc

PREACH

You can't fit 78 minutes of uncompressed PCM into 700MB. That's not how math works.

705,600 bytes/sec × 4740 seconds = ~3.2GB raw. You're off by a factor of four.
