Digital Access To The Music, But What About The Collectors?

We live in an era where access to music the most popular way of consuming music. Owning music is not as popular as it used to be and tangible items become an old habit for the music fans. I wonder if the collectors are becoming a “rare specie” since most of them target tangible items. A rare vinyl album could cost thousands of dollars for a collector, regardless of its musical content – HARDWARE WAS THE KING! In the world of Holograms, Spotify and new releases that become available only in digital format, which is the “collectible” nature of the music?

1. Exclusive digital access to a rare release (A Spotify platform with only rare songs)?

2. Artificial Intelligence technology that would produce random music based on the musical patterns and unreleased outtakes of the album that you buy?

3. Customized Holograms based on the single/album that you buy?
