When my friend said that he believed music has been cheapened, he was referring to the fact that music is now everywhere. It’s in your cellphone, on the web, on your microwave, TV, toys, etc. It’s even a marketing tool. It’s become easier to get, but will that affect the music itself?
With the advent of mp3, iPods, iTunes, BitTorrent, multi-gigabyte storage etc, will the concept of the ‘record album’ have become a thing of the past, say 5 years from now? Given FZ’s notion of Conceptual Continuity, I wonder how he would’ve (re)acted to these changes in the music industry.
