No PandoDaily, Children will want their parents music collection

Quite simply, Greg Kumparak is wrong.

Let’s say you have kids and a few decades later, as we tend to eventually do, die. Think of the advances that will have come in that time. Will your kids even want that (now relatively low-fi) copy of “Sorry For Party Rocking”, when they’ll probably be able to get a raw and uncompressed copy beamed straight into their head (or something like that) in the blink of an eye? All your movies: after a few decades of codec evolution and lost legacy formats, will they even play?

Music is emotion, and the delivery mechanism, be it MP3, mental beaming, Philips Compact Cassette, 8 Track, Minidisc or anything else is part of that emotion. My playlists, stars, and track counts will be just as important to my children as the tape counter numbers on the paper inlay of “More Hits: The Shadows!” is to me. Even though I don’t have stereo that my Dad used to get those counter numbers.
