Just wanted to say in response to this: the cover art, the cover art! Before the advent of the music video, there was the album cover art, which, if you are an audiophile, or even a design head, is part of the pleasure in the purchase. I just got a Powerbook last month and I’m sure it’s a matter of time before I use the I tunes music store to buy music, but for now, I still like browsing for music I’m new to by its cover.
