There's a technological solution there. Imagine if a "soulless audio file" came with a link to the net showing everything you speak of. A video of "the making of", band interviews, reviews. That would be anything but shite. That would be, certainly could be, better than a 5" square booklet.Not to send the thread off on a tangent but I don't think I could ever get rid of my CDs. Looking at the album cover, band photos, reading the lyrics, liner notes etc is all part of the music experience. imagine if music had always just been a soulless audio file with no associated imagery, it be shite.
