There's no substitute for getting a nicely packaged thingy when you buy whatever it is. Downloads just don't cut it for me.
But then, what can I say - I've not bought a CD for years. Bought tons of vinyl records, but no CDs. I think that says something about me (and many others here, it seems) - the packaging and the medium are part of the experience; they give a good album
soul somehow, in a way a file downloaded onto your hard disk can't - just like a downloaded game is never as satisfying as, say, a shelf full of those lovely black psygnosis boxes you got in the 90's. Was I the only one who just couldn't get enough of Psygnosis packaging? Equally playing an ADF will never be as satisying as popping a disk in the disk drive.
Maybe I'm just old.
