I don't think that's quite accurate, David - the modern formula isn't too different from the Bach or Haydn formula (or what's put GAP to the wall) - find what sells and rehash it. However, the chart formula of big sales means that end of things is overexposed, not that musical creativity has been funnelled and limited since the classical era.

A quick trip to Bandcamp will show hundreds of thousands of imaginative artists of all genres, who, to bring things back on topic a little, will often be releasing on physical media! I've bought new CDs, LPs, 7"s and cassettes on there recently. The website tells me that yesterday 57,844 records were purchased there.
