    Allow me to beat a dead horse.

    My interest in bringing up this topic was not to bemoan the fact that we've lost the physical medium - but that album art is now a square picture to represent a track in my playlist.

    All the content that used to come packed with the music has been left behind. Lyrics, liner notes, bios, photos. I get that it's all on the internet now but I think there is real value in packaging that all together in a clever and visual way. Nowadays that should be visual.

    Album art shouldn't be relegated to an avatar for tracks on my phone.

    • unfortunately that's where it's moving. and it's only going in that direction because people don't spend money on music, we are all to blame.Miguex
