For the past two decades or so, the very idea of music reproduction has undergone a mutation that, beyond the albeit interesting technological aspects resulting from the transition from analog to digital, has ended up affecting aspects that we might call “anthropological.” The introduction of portable devices first and then the availability of platforms for downloading (at first clandestine and later legalized) what we now call “content,” but to which we once referred using the term “music,” has had two consequences: listening has become a private affair, since it is done predominantly through headphones, thus relegating music to the role of “soundtrack,” background for the most varied daily activities such as running, studying, working, socializing, etc. Second, despite having the best technologies since the very idea of audio reproduction was introduced, this quality is not valued, given the scarcity of the devices with which people predominantly listen nowadays: smartphones, TVs and, in some rare cases, the car system. We might further add that the sales model that privileges the single audio track has resulted in the disintegration of opera as the generation of music fans who grew up with 33-rpm vinyl first and the CD later knew it.<\/p>\n
