Sometimes I hear a piece of music that I haven't heard in a long time
but had it e.g. on a cassette tape once. I still know every tick and
speck of noise and what it faded into. When hearing a new arrangement of
a familiar song I usually get it after a few lines and then remember
often what line comes next. So for hundreds if not thousands of songs I
both remember the instrumentation and errors, implying that I have at
least a 'fourier transform' recorded and I have also stored the meaning,
which is IIRC in a totally different place in the brain. Oh and I also
do remember the video clip when hearing just the song.
