The advantage of Audio CDs is the sound quality, and as you noticed on your PC, it's quite big. If you're the type who would like to hear everything as it was recorded or mixed at the studio, and want it faithfully reproduced by your sound setup, go for CDs (or vinyl records even!).
The difference is more noticable on high end systems.
On the other hand, if you want lots of music on a single disc and don't mind some signal loss due to compression, go for mp3.
