Unveiling the Future of Music Creation: Will We Run Out of New Melodies?

🎵 There are millions of songs available in online databases.

💽 Digital music is composed of bits, with a finite number of possibilities.

🎵 There are a vast number of possible different 5-minute audio files.

🌍 The number of possible audio files is larger than the number of atoms in the earth and the estimated number of hydrogen atoms in the universe.

💿 This vast number of audio files includes every possible CD quality 5-minute audio file.

🎵 The total number of possible melodies within one octave is limited.

🎶 Different combinations of notes result in unique measures.

⏳ The number of possible melodies is vast, but still finite.

🎵 There are about 79 billion possible combinations of melodies across 8 notes and 12 intervals.

🔀 While we will never run out of new music, there are commonalities between songs, and many songs sound similar to each other.
