magnetic storage media
I have my 58-note catalog (organised by title and by composer) stored
on 8-inch floppy disks for an I.B.M. main-frame computer. I have been
unable to read these discs for 15 years, although I have tried to find
someone with an old computer to convert them for me. I cannot bring
myself to destroy them, but who would want the discs which cannot be
read? The paper versions I have are suffering from being copied or
scanned so many times, but they are at least useful.
What does this say about digital music storage in the future?
