I was actually thinking about photos in relation to this when I wrote it.
If you always take photos, but never print them (the good ones) and put them on the wall, are you actually enjoying them?
Or is the purpose of photos merely to serve as the grist for Facebook's mill, and pocketbook.
We can probably talk about the same overabundance of music on the streaming services from spotify to soundcloud as we could about our own digital photo-collections.
Making a physical artifact of either images or music is making a statement of relevance which develops your own world and culture.
Digital folders full of images and songs which you do nothing with seems to indicate that you don't think very highly of their contents, imo of course.
Overabundance devalues.
Scarcity creates value.
Maybe that's just a fine way of stating that those of us who recognize this can take advantage of it.

I read an article on the web about a chap who recorded with Nirvana who used then and still uses to this day analog tape because he expressed his concern about the longevity of digital masters only that in the future may become obsolete or lost.unrecoverable, unplayable ....its possible I guess
I've seen a recent interview of Barry Gibb talking about changing his recording studio back to analog tape because he enjoyed the warm qualities , some noise and excitement compared to the alternatives. I believe everything at our desposal is very useful and we should be thankful we have so many options but I've often felt more than I like the paralysis of overchoice.
Apple has fed our addiction abundantly and we're always glad to provide income to these wonderful developers who put so much care into their applications! I hear you though
I just looked the engineer that worked with Nirvana is Steve Albini and the article is on c|net
We all know about dysfunction in large companies, but yes, it is good to point out there is dysfunction in being self employed too. There are a lot of hats to wear, when you are in business by yourself. Creative direction, design, manufacturing, quality control, accounting, marketing/promotion, scheduling, customer support, janitor.
One approach I've seen is to hire a boss for a project! Or manager.
that and awesome reminds me on Rising Appalachia (scnr)
you're not alone Mr. Monzo, been through this and still kind of stucked.
It's even tougher to watch clumsy, blueprinted designs with few (if any) creative/productive solutions being preferred for the sake of the label.
Nice. I'm using a lot of old songs in my music therapy practice and it always amazes me how many of them haven't many more than 3 chords to them.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

I've remarked about this issue in other threads, but I would gladly pay more for apps. I doubt that they could charge little enough to keep us around & make a profit.
But something comes to mind: Is it that these smart devices are so ubiquitous that the sheer amount of everything that can be done with them (accessible by the average person) somehow... cheapens the perception of the utility as a whole? That these devices are more toys than tools?
I feel no need to preserve my music for the ages. My primary urge is enjoying the process of creating music. Publish or perish doesn't motivate me. There are plenty of very talented people whose music I enjoy. I'll leave the legacy preservation to them and their supporters. I have no problem with others feeling differently about their creations.
I'd prefer apps that are accessible, offer options, and are capable of producing engaging sounds than figure out how to polish and preserve my offerings. Since we live in an imperfect world with many differences of opinion and perspective, I consider finding apps and ways of playing that interest me to be part of the process.
I enjoy digital music because it allows me the freedom to easily delete or save with a minimal analog foot print left behind. iOS devices require minimal resources. While I had music hardware and PC music software long before iOS, I hardly ever did anything with them as it was much more difficult to set everything up before I could start to play. I enjoy the immediacy of iOS and the wide range of musical tools I can explore.
Just because my music isn't something others have a desire to listen to, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the effort put in by developers to provide these tools. There is no way I can blame them for my lack of compelling output either. When apps seem too difficult to figure out, have limited options, or are too unstable, that's when I decline to purchase or stop using an app.
I think it's unfortunate that the value of art in general seems to be on the decline compared to other products and services; and has impacted iOS music app developers too. If there weren't such a large proportion of developers who are passionate about their apps, I think our options would be a fraction of what they currently are.
I am loving this. If this is your thing check out Carolina Chocolate Drops.
Is that easy though? To have to migrate something every three or so years v. how long for a tablet?
Which could be reassembled, showing damage but still possible to read. I do think digital preservation is possible, and simpler corrupted files like .WAVs and midi and plain text could be reassembled like a tablet, but how much if what we use is proprietary?
Let's take a PDF file for example, why do you give it a lifespan of only 3 years before changing it to a newer format?. Same case with a Word file, a MP3 file (which is still going strong after 23 years and might live for another 20) , MIDI (33 years and counting), Unicode, JPEG, etc. universal, widely used formats have a long life and when the times comes to replace it it will be very easily to convert your files to a newer format, (there's always free tools for that all over the internet for example).
I'm not aware of a widely use proprietary format that has no way of converting it to a much more universal file. As a heavy Sibelius user for example, I know this program uses proprietary files but also allows exporting as MIDI, as PDF, as musicXML, as WAV.
stone/clay tablets reassemble depends on the amount of damage. What if I also stole half of the broken pieces? Or reduce them to dust? ,taking care of something like a valuable physical book, clay/stones tablets, etc also becomes expensive with time, (specialists to take proper care of it, finding the proper place where it's going to be stored, security, etc.) you will basically not be able to touch it at all and you'll have to make a copy (which involves money as well).
