I came across this blog which struck a chord so thought I would share.

I have to say I don't respect my cd's as much as I should, many are in cracked cases from living in glove boxes and I'm in the process of ripping them all so they can sleep in the loft so I will be left with thumb nails. The packaging of LP's is so much better and I spent much of my teenage years in record shops, mainly 2nd hand, pouring over album covers. I remember buying Gluggo by the Spencer Davis Group largely because I liked the cover. These days if I'm looking at cd's I often just scan the spines.
One of the great positives of digital music is it is so accessible now. If you want to hear what a band sounds like it is generally very easy to find something online. Back in the day if a group didn't get played on the radio and your friends didn't have their stuff you didn't get to hear them.
Does the packaging improve the experience or is it all about the music?
