Comment Cover-Art replaced by web art? (Score 2) 258

I have been a fan of TMBG since around Apollo 18, when I began collecting the albums... And one of my favorite things about your CDs was/is the cover-art.

I understand that when CDs first came out, some fans were upset that the LP cover-art was reduced in size to fit on CD jewel cases. Now I believe I understand that fear, for it appears that the cover-art has not only shrunk this time, but vanished due to the new MP3 format of your songs.

'Long Tall Weekend', though it had an electronic post-card, would be more of a treasure to me if I had something tangible from it. The 'Working Undercover For The Man' CD (exclusive from E-Music for buying the MP3s, in case you readers are wondering where it came from) though understandably case-less, was the last I saw any cover-art and though it was a sparsely decorated, folding, paper CD-holder it felt much more special and rewarding to own than just the MP3s.

I guess my question is twofold: Do you think that CDs and their cover-art are going to be left behind, and do you think that there is a way you can make up for this potential loss to TMBG fans?
