[Men In Black] K shows J a small disc that they're going to be replacing CDs with. Obviously that didn't pan out, with digital music and streaming becoming dominant instead. Why?

Were those human innovations that just work better for our needs? More advanced alien tech the MIB got ahold of later? Or maybe alien tech they already gave humanity, repurposed in an unexpected way?

It wasn't a question of technical superiority but rather market fit. The disc could fit all music ever produced on it, but K didn't appreciate that humans wouldn't know what to do with that. We don't want to shuffle play all music in the world, 99.9% of which is awful. We want algorithms to decide what we should listen to from knowledge of our preferences. The best way to enable that kind of intelligence is with centralized servers. Once you're connected you might as well stream the music and not require localized storage at all.
