My memoery/understanding of it, at least on CD's, is that there's redundancy, so youj can lose a little data, and still get music with nothing lost. It takes more than a little to affect playback. In the audiophile world, it was also said that the more error correction needed, the worse the audio sound quality would be (so even that little amount that preserved the music was undesirable).

One of these days I have to get a music server or NAS to back up the digital music (and make it more easily accessible). Now it's a mess.

Listener Gregory:

Solid state memory used to lose its charges after a while (e.g., the old USB memory sticks), so we were told not to rely on them. Now they’re apparently much more reliable, but I wouldn’t count on them for a lifetime of memory. I agree that ceramics will last for centuries… so ceramic LPs maybe? Just don’t drop them!

Then, of course, there's the issue of vinyl, digitzing it would be nice, but I've got a bunch of LPs, think I'll die before I'd finish the process (and of course, there's the issue of what digital to analog converter to get for the job, man, this all makes me dizzy. Get me some Ouzo!

It is an irony commented on in the book world that you can easily read a book printed in 1600 (or a medieval manuscript), but electronic memory from 1960 or 1970 is very likely totally decayed or has no working equipment to decode it. So the idea of replacing libraries with digital memories is very dubious.

No great loss. I liked the opening scene -- a girl receives a package and it's her long-lost father's record collection. She looks at each jacket and lays them on the floor like pieces of a puzzle, trying to figure out what he was like

That IS a great opening! Of course, paper manuscripts can be (and have been) lost and destroyed too. Hemingway lost a novel that way, and some famous Victorian left his manuscript at a friend’s house, and a servant used it to light fireplaces. Oops! No copy!

Anyway, if @doctorj goes, I should go too. I don’t want to be the last guest at the party. Thanks a lot for an enlightening show, Gary!

Hey Kids! Do you yearn for more of that sweet la musica la musica what burns and churns in your ear canals? Need not to fret, for the always already fantastic "disc jockey" Sam Segal will be in in moments to spin an episode of his beloved If You Lose Your Horse that he likes to call "To Order the Horses to Be Readied" wfmu.org...

In his book "Zany AFternoons," Bruce McCall has this great painting of people dining at tables atop the wing of a giant airplane. Somebody had a manuscript weighted by a wine bottle, and when it was accidentally lifted the manuscript blew all over France. It's titled "Wing Dining: A Kind of Dreamy Nightmare."
