Of course. But the rejections of recordings being conscious is based
on the intuition that they are too simple to correspond to a conscious
entity. But recordings can be incredibly complex, so I don't think one
can reject the notion that recordings are always unconscious, just
because the simple ones don't appear to be. 

Obviously not all complex recordings are conscious, in fact I would
suspect most are not. But it is not so obvious that aren't any complex
conscious recordings.
