Limited edition, in this sense, means something that has a relatively small amount of copies. Say, a CD with only 100,000 copies all told. That's limited edition. Not something that is otherwise hard to get, such as a sound check or unpublished recording session. Once you transfer an audio track to MP3 and put it on the internet, there's no way it's ever going to be limited. It's easy enough to click 'file copy'.
As for making music the 'old fashioned way', I don't think he meant the actual creation of the music itself, but the phenomenon of music getting to the audience. The act of going to a music store and buying the CD, LP , or cassette is part and parcel of the entire chain of 'making music', which all starts with a person's conceptual idea to his/her voice be heard. I can't say for sure that MP3's will destroy this ubiquitous 'making music', but there is a definite difference to buying a CD at a record store and downloading it off someone's site.
