Most classic jazz recordings won’t be transferred onto compact disc. Why? Because the only preexisting recordings that record companies transfer onto compact disc are those they think will be profitable on compact disc, and few classic jazz recordings are played on the radio.
Based on the argument’s premises, we only know that few classic jazz recordings are played on the radio and the only preexisting recordings that record companies transfer onto compact disc are those they think will be profitable on compact disc. So why does the author conclude that most classic jazz recordings won’t be transferred onto compact disc?
The author’s conclusion follows logically if we assume that if a preexisting recording isn’t played on the radio, record companies won’t believe it will sell well enough on compact disc to be profitable (Contrapositive: For record companies to believe a song will sell enough on compact disc to profitable, it must be played on the radio).
