Sheet music, like other collectible commodities, is subject to a number of variables where value is concerned. For a start, condition is everything, as is rarity value.

One of the problems for the seller of old sheet music is that much of it has been legally digitised - in many cases by large universities - and is therefore freely available via the net. So it?s really the keen collector of original material who is the potential buyer here - with the exception that always applies to rare stuff by, say, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, etc.

Some months ago I was given an archive of around 5,000 original sheet music pieces dating from the 1880s to the early 1960s, once the property of a professional pianist. It sits in a filing cabinet as I, from time to time, go through it, scanning and cataloguing ...

I found a batch file on youtube which stops the Spotify adverts. You can then easily record audio from Spotify to your PC using Audacity for instance, and it's pretty good quality.

Hi David - I'm not really sure how the Spotify artists get on the database. I'd assumed it was as comprehensive as possible unless the artist or their record company had blocked access to their material. I've noticed some albums where only some of the tracks are accessible owing to "Record company policy". I'm told that performers with their material on CD Baby will eventually find their material on Spotify, but I've no evidence either way.

And, yes - as Matt said - there's some good stuff like Folkways offerings to hear.

As for the artists on Spotify, I think it's invitation only, yes? A friend told me Kathryn Tickell, e.g., is on there.

Here's the URL for Spotify. You can download the player and register for free. It's free to play anything you can find on the site, but you get adverts in between every other number or so. Paying a sub frees you from the ads. I usually stop a number playing just before the end, or click on another song title to cut out the ads.

The database is not comprehensive - it's CD only, no older vinyl - and some artists/companies have not signed up at all or only partially. No Beatles, for example. But I've found it of great benefit for quickly finding a particular song or tune for reference - and for serendipitously coming across unfamiliar material.

Some people think that Spotify's access mode to your computer in order to allow the service to stream is unacceptable. I personally couldn't care less. Anyway - there you go...
