We use analog and digital signals in our everyday lives with the radio, the cell phone and with our own computers. our computers and our cell phones are all digital now but radio's are still considered analog. Radio telescopes explore space by using radio waves and signals to almost like scan space and collect data like a sonar in a submarine.
Was this in reference to literal audio archives? If so, I don't see any cons beside possible copyright infringement.
If you're talking about the codecs themselves, then I can do that.
<span>Pros:
</span>- Widespread acceptance. Supported in nearly all hardware devices, and continually adopted by newer ones.
- Faster decoding. Much more so than FLAC, Vorbis, etc.
- Relaxed licensing schedule.
<span>Cons:
</span><span>
</span>- Lower quality and efficiency than most modern codecs. (To be fair, never really noticed this one).
- Sometimes the maximum bitrate isn't enough.
- Pretty much void/unusable for high definition audio (higher than <span>48kHz).</span>

It depends on personal tastes and what it's applied on.
For example: I like Blue. I think Blue is cool! But, I also think red is cool, on a sports car. I think it would have to be Red, but thats what I think. The same with orange. Green for a T-Shirt is cool as well!
Remember that if you want to find out what color someone likes, just ask them. Generally though, Red is considered to be cool for most things.
