What are NFTs and NFT Collections
The classical music NFTs is an example of non-fungible tokens.
By definition of non-fungible, each NFT has a value unique to it and cannot be traded for a token of the same value.
People have the misconception that NFTs and cryptocurrency are exactly the same, which they are not. They both have similarities, which include unstable volatility and storing of digital records on a blockchain.
The Ethereum blockchain, in particular, is able to support NFTs.
NFTs can be anything digital. The most common form NFTs come in as of late is digital art, but they can also be digital sneakers, sports cards, collectibles, GIFs, and of course, music.
An NFT collection, on the other hand, is just like any collection of any other thing out there. It is a group of NFTs that usually have the same design inspiration or theme, or the same designer or maker.
An example of an NFT collection is Weird Whales, a collection inspired by an 8-bit stock photo of a blue whale.
The NFTs of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra can be considered as a music NFT collection.

In 2015, the publishing rights to Lil Dicky's "Save Dat Money" song was sold as a music NFT for $85,000 by an online marketplace called Royal Exchange.
