Read some of the journals here, get to know some of the guys and girls and you'll soon see he's talking crap. Who is he anyway? How can one man make a sweeping generalisation like that? Those of us who care about music will care about it whether it comes on acetate, vinyl, digitally or pumped directly into our cortexes. The media doesn't matter, it's the music that does. I love music now as much as I did when I was amassing a huge collection of vinyl LPs, later CDs and now on my PC in MP3 format.
The value of music does not decrease according to the medium that carries it: the value only decreases when people begin to lose interest in it, and even for the crappiness of the music involved, shows like the X Factor and Top of the Pops, and MTV, are still as popular as ever they were.
As long as people need and enjoy music, it can't be devalued.
