Well, it's nonsense. They probably argued that the set of all songs is
countably infinite, but thats still infinite. Say you make a song with
the duration of one second, they I can always make a different song, I
just make it one second longer.
Arguably maybe there's far less melodies, however, it's going to be an
awfull lot of them still...
