"A common complaint concerning MP3s is their lack of interesting extras – the types of things you typically find inside the cases of compact discs, such as lyrics, liner notes, images and even keepsakes. That may change this year, as competition among the digital music purveyors heats up and third-party creators tap into the interest of music fans for more information." - Switched
I guess I don’t care as much about that stuff as most people. To be perfectly honest, I enjoy listening to music but I’m probably not ‘into’ it like many people. However! I do know that many people like this sort of thing and I’m glad to see that they’re finally going to add more of a consumer experience into buying digital music.
The types of things you can have as part of the digital experience are much different than what buying a jewel case would get you. I think it has the potential to be more valuable to more people in the long run. Personally, I’d love to see the ability to play lyrics on the screen as the music plays. Not that I sing along or anything…
