title: What is the best way to store media files on a database?
body: <p>I want to store a large number of sound files in a database, but I don't know if it is a good practice. I would like to know the pros and cons of doing it in this way.</p>
  
  <p>I also thought on the possibility to have "links" to those files, but maybe this will carry more problems than solutions. Any experience in this direction will be welcome :)</p>
  
  <p>Note: The database will be MySQL.</p>
