[microsound] Collectibility of Digital Files?

[Kevin Ponto <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey list,

Someone posted this question on the Ableton Live forum, and I though it 
would be a good question to ask this bunch and see what your take on it 
was, so here goes...

Since it is inevitable that music as a media will be a virtual object 
what will happen to the collector? The reason people collect CD's and 
LP's is because it is a tangible object, nice artwork, posters, pop up 
album cover all that sort of stuff which down the road increases the 
value of that said media....

 How will this transcribe to a digital release? Will the collector have 
a special electronic id indicating limited release and where is the 
enjoyment in that... If a release is deemed to be a hit I guess the 
label could release a limited edtion MP3 USB chip with fancy packaging 
for the collector....

 Something to ponder...
