There ARE better ways to communicate across vast reaches of the cosmos than sending gold-plated copper records: radio waves, for instance. That's what SETI is on the hunt for.

SETI has a lot of shared history with the Voyager record. One of the record's precursors was the Arecibo message, which is the kind of signal that SETI would love to find.

I'm listening to the songs I picked for the LargeHearted Boy book notes I did when The Voyager Record first came out and, yeah, these are my jams.
