My $0.02 ... I was bummed when these tiny little things called CD's came out, only because I missed the big beautiful album covers and posters inside and stuff. Loved the ease of use, ruggedness and lack of hiss, pops and scratches. Now, downloads are even easier to keep and transport, but I'll really miss the cool little booklets that good CD packages come with.
Ah, me ... I'm old. I like to hold stuff that I buy.
