The End Of Out-Of-Print Music


.
With the proliferation of digital downloads, there should never again be music that goes 'out-of-print', because it will cost nothing to distribute it via download.

Just wondering if all of the past out-of-print music could re-appear digitally as downloads. No physical discs to print or distribute, it could be available digitally forever.

At the very beginning of CD analog many tapes were digitized with less than perfect A/D conversion resulting in noisy and often harsh recordings. The only remedy is to digitize it again if analog tapes still exist.
This is a nice idea but probably only in theory. There is a lot of stuff that was never remastered and made available digitally via CD. Even if it were only made available via download, there's still a lot of work to bring it to market. And that's probably the reason that it never went to CD either. Yes, downloads are less expensive, but as Kijanki pointed out, CDs aren't really that expensive to manufacture. -I do agree though that it would be great to have all those older titles available for download so we could hear them again. I sold my last turntable over 20 years ago and have never looked back.
