Of course it's a minority.  And a very small minority of people in their 
40s, 50s, 60s, 70, or into their 80s collect 78rpm discs.

If people only listen to music from their generation, then why is the music 
of Bach or Debussy still alive?  I have a couple of other young people who 
would never want to collect the original discs, but are happy for me to 
share mp3s of big-band music I've tranferred from my collection.
