Indeed. I have some recordings of Ignacy Paderewski playing his *own*

I've made FLACs out of them just in case.

In my
experience _everything_ that has been recorded since about
1917 is available on cd if you go to the right sources.
Sorry, but you are extremely wrong here. There is a huge amount of
music that is only available on LP, 45, 78, or other even old formats.
Most early rock and roll, like 1950/60s rockabilly, has not made it
past the 45 format, and the same is true for old soul. Lots of live
jazz never jumped off the LP. There is a ton of stuff from the 1980s,
like dance remixes and B sides, that never made it. To the extreme,
there is the whole bootleg market.
