Does anyone use CDs anymore? What's the point of continuing to make them? You'll buy a CD, rip it, and put it away. Lossless downloads (FLAC is preferred) are the way of the future. If you want album art, they should include really high resolution images so the consumer can print them out however they want. Include the front album cover (or whatever art they prefer) and embed it into the audio. It'll be cheaper than producing CDs, and you don't have to worry about the 80 minute limit. Make it 3 channels so you can disable the vocals if you like. Make it 6+ channels for surround sound. Make it 24 bit if you like. Both are unavailable on CD.
No more worrying about the "perfect rip," when you get the audio directly from the studio.
Apple will have to get off it's iHighhorse and start supporting the superior audio format. Video game makers will have to get past this stupid mp3 phase, a phase that should have ended long ago. No longer will they have to license codecs just to play back mp3s. No longer will you hear clipping dialog or low quality music since it's losslessly compressed.
It's pointless now a days to separate compilations to fit on a CD, since most people just play back the audio on a player or their computer.
"Audiophiles" can keep their expensive record player and listen to all the pops and humming noise they claim is a "deeper sound," and leave me alone, cause I don't want to hear that baloney.
