@ Kavion:

I completely agree with you. If I like an artist and I like their work, I'll buy the physical product, the only time I'll buy a digital single is if it's it's the ONLY song or two I like on the whole album. But I love having the whole package; the artwork, the lyric booklet, something that you can't replicate with a digital product, and I don't care if iTunes offers virtual booklets, it's obviously something you can't enjoy on a tiny-ass, 2 inch screen. Besides, iTunes is too expensive now, better to buy songs on Amazon.

I do find iPods extemely useful though, in that if I hear a live or demo version of a song on YouTube or an unreleased track that will not see an official release, I can download it and have it on my iPod. And I can't carry CDs with me everywhere I go, there's that.

I think people don't take music as seriously as they should nowadays.
