We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

First of all, compress the audio. There's no need for extreme high fidelity in this case. V0/v2 mp3 is plenty of quality.
After that we're talking about 10s of gigabytes. If you want it to last as long as possible, I would upload to two separate cloud storage platforms, s3 glacier storage being one of them. Then make at least 2 physical copies, they can be flash media or blue ray DVD. Be sure to backup any passwords for the cloud providers ect..
Thank you!
