Laravel Public vs Storage directories for audio files

I am a little bit confused about in which directory I should put my .mp3 files in Laravel 5.

• public/, my first choice as my MP3 can be considered as media (like images which are already stored there)

• storage/app, according to docs this directory is kind of recommended for this purpose.

  

I don't really mind being able to get an URL of these audio files since I serve it as a stream (to somehow prevent downloads, lol).

Any advice? Thanks.
