so you think cds should become obsolete ? u take no enjoyment outta purchasing something u could have forever rather than some mp3s ?
I can't scratch an MP3, and MP3's don't take up space or collect dust. I don't have to go anywhere to get an MP3. I don't have to worry about what time stores close if I want to hear something I don't have. Honestly man... I kept hundreds of cd's for so long and they just sat in a rack doing nothing for years.
Try moving two or three times and packing/unpacking boxes full of cd's you don't listen to or need and tell me if you need cd cases.
a digital booklet ? are u serious.. lol thats just a JPEG file(or equivalent).. but there would be 1 solution... release a small booklet + extras and within the booklet a code for the lossless audio and allow the lossless audio to be downloaded at anytime in the future. That way the average person still recieves something for his cash that he can actually touch while killing the jewel case problem entirely... im sure a small booklet in a sachet wouldnt be very hard to put somewhere..
So I should go all the way to the store, pay money for a tiny book, then come home and download the album? No. I'd rather just stay home and dl the album for free.
