It exists, in the present. It consists of many forms of recorded music, which might be a serious debate for some people, but, if you make music and are serious about it, the fact that you have a recording of it or not is infinitely more important than the playback medium. The next important thing would be the quality of the recording process, but even that&#8217;s getting into subjectivity. The medium (and number of copies made) determine the survivability of the recording. I&#8217;m going to tell you about the copies that I personally have.<\/p>\n<p>I try to make music and have a number of songs running around my brain at any time. And I spend a lot of time fooling around of various instruments. It might not ever turn into anything. If I die tomorrow, definitely not. But my record collection will still go right on existing. Unless I&#8217;m killed in some sort of house explosion, or fire, or planes fly into my house causing a flaming explosion, which I feel is always in the cards.<\/p>\n<p align=right><b>%<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a valid question.
