I agree with progress and I don't think there is any stopping it or going back. And the idea of having the convenience of all your favorite music in one small convenient place is wonderful. I too understand and have experienced in my day buying an album and liking only a few songs.

However, I too remember going to the music store and thumbing thru albums and checking out the covers of my favorite artists. I remember the feeling of listening to the music while holding the album (especially if it is a blockbuster) for instance, like Sgt. Pepper. I remember listening to the music checking out every part of the cover. I suppose we just have to accept it as progress, yet I can't bring myself to get rid of a collection of albums I have EVEN tho I have many on a CD. There's something special about them.
