I guess one point is that no...I know what you mean. I guess one point is that no one even thinks about "who the producer is" or who played that cool lead guitar part" because the notes aren't there. It may seem a bit nostalgic but it used to be that you would buy a new release, sit down with headphones and check out the artwork, read the notes, lyrics etc. I think that this is a cool part of listening to music. You are totally immersed in the experience. And as a fan/musician it's valuable because you start to notice that you like certain producers, bass players...<br /><br />It's kind of a reflection of the transient "throw away" attitude towards music today. I mean, it's all free now, right? So, if it has no value then folks have no emotional investment in what they are listening to. Just click delete and move on.<br />The industry will catch on to this eventually (they are already starting to) and will come up with new (hopefully better) solutions. They have to. They will all have to start selling insurance if they don't. <br /><br />BTW, I bought a recent release by Alice in Chains via iTunes and they created a really cool interface with the entire liner notes, credits and lyrics. The best digital booklet I have seen so far.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15071786408413842749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27881621.post-60238866598875333132009-10-23T22:49:48.389-04:002009-10-23T22:49:48.389-04:00i never even thought about that until you brought ...i never even thought about that until you brought it to my attention. I guess I'm just so used to getting mp3s now that I dont even miss liner notes anymore. I think it's because the convenience outweighs them.jdomini00https://www.blogger.com/profile/10318742037411874014noreply@blogger.com
