I am doing some research on the music market, and was wondering if any VC readers knew of any data on the total number of music releases worldwide. The RIAA, of course, puts out such data for the United States. Comparative data over time would be especially useful, as would be any other quantitative measures of whether global musical diversity has been rising or falling. My intuition and personal experience very strongly suggest that many different kinds of music are more available than ever before, but it is hard to find any exact numbers to back up this claim.
By the way, my honeymoon was most enjoyable, we visited southern Spain: Grenada, Cordoba, and Seville. Gibraltar was a special treat, I hope to write more about that place, and its unique problems, soon.
