Meh, not really a surprise TBH. IMO People who are intersted in buying music downloads are usually the people who are looking to save money/get music the cheapest and easiest way possible, so probably arnt that interested in paying extra for extras aside from the tracks that the like (like me!)

People who are interested in the extras that come with the music would be buying the CD!

This makes me very happy, but not in an anti-Apple way - I hope all such formats fail miserably. The record labels need to back off and finally deal with the fact that most of us simply want music, which we can listen to where and when we want (i.e. without DRM). They won't of course; they'll lobby and throw their weight around and generally be stroppy - but every embarassment like this is a step towards making them see sense.

I have to agree with xbramster on the "free" idea. I'd buy a digital album if liner notes came as standard. If extra content, such as video's and interviews I think its worth charging a little extra but I think all digital album downloads should come with liner notes. Its part of the process of enjoying music. Learning about the band, reading the lyrics.

I'm not suggesting that every track you download has it though.

I find the comparison to CD here rubbish though.

Those of us who mourn Cd is are mourning a loss of sound repoduction quality. Just playing anything through a pc opens it to alot of noise on the sound. then with MP3 compression bleh! its not the features its the quality.

Only thing that offers us hope is SACD 2 channel cd's

The music industry encouraged people to buy individual tracks by pimping 'artists' that put out albums with 10 different producers and songwriters and padding them with sub-b-side material.

How about just sell the CDs for less without the liner notes?

MonkeyAxman: I get where you're coming from, but I actually take the opposite view - for me part of the process of enjoying music is listening carefully to the lyrics, interpreting them, trying to pick out instruments or samples; I like doing all this myself. Although while liner notes don't really bother me, I do kind of worry about the disappearance of the album cover as an art form - I doubt as much care and thought will go into these designs if they're only going to end up as thumbnails. So I'd be perfectly happy to have liner notes, cover art etc. - and I wouldn't even mind paying for them as an optional extra - but not as an integrated format which just happens to allow the labels to disguise DRM behind the supposed benefits.
