I see it as possibly a simpler way to back up, soon to degenerate, old programs to a CD and to load again.
What you're describing is do-able, and even admirable in a geeky way, but not practical. It's like making a backup of all your term papers by converting each letter-character to its ASCII code number, concatenating the results into a single file, sorting by code number along with a position-code indicating where in the sort-order it originally fell, and then carving the results into the side of a smoke-blackened cave using roman numerals.
If you're having problems burning apps and files to CD, get a cheap used SyQuest, or Zip drive, or external hard disk. Or an old tape backup. Or a floptical. Or use those 400K and 800K disks, even those would be far less hassle, more reliable, and more efficient in every conceivable way than converting the files to analog sound via modem and storing them as audio.
