Quote:Though, to be fair, the article states catalogue music ("old music" according to the title) to be anything over 18 months.

So technically modern music would still be in the "old music" category

On top of that old music is a lot easier to find now thanks to the internet. In the days of record stores, even if you could remember that song you heard twice in the summer 73 there was virtually no chance of finding it in the store because there's a good chance it's out of print and even if it wasn't, the stores only had a limited stock. With digital purchases through Amazon or iTunes you can find and buy songs like that with minimal effort.
