Is this really a bug - as far as I can tell all instances I can find the

Surely that depends on the MP3 player? iPod and iRivier, yes, because they 
contain a hard drive. All my MP3 players use solid-state storage, however -

Good point.  In that case, neither "disc" nor "disk" would be
appropriate.
