I've seen this analogy used before and it just doesn't work. At the production end - where the music is recorded - it's almost all digital. High quality 1" tape is just about impossible to find - a friend of mine has to hand-select lots and hoards them for use in his studio. And even he uses all digital after the initial recording (the equivalent of shooting on film and then using digital darkroom) for his recordings. Other than a few die-hards like my friend and the extreme low quality end, everything is digitial start to finish, usually using Didigesign Pro Tools. Also, I don't know anyone in the music business using anything other than DAT in the field. The high end audio market is a luxury market that is often noted for its cultist tendencies, and has no impact on the production of music.
