Really? It seems to me that music, and the marketing of music has never been more visual.
Album art is only dead when you think of music taste as a souvenir. "It's my music, it belongs to me.. See! I can hold it in my hands, and show all my friends what it looks like."
The artwork's still there, you just can't touch it anymore, and it exists to entice new listeners rather than reward the converted. Let's not forget that it's primary function has ALWAYS been to market A PRODUCT.
