If Live were to release a new album and a digital version for less, which would you purchase and why?


As much as I love the instantaneous access of music via the new digital era we're now in, thanks to iTunes, Amazon Unbox and others, I can't STAND it. I want the physical CD, the (sometimes) pretty artwork and liner notes. I want the full meal deal. I don't want to take a compressed MP3, transcode it to a WAV and burn it to a TDK/Sony/Verbatim/Memorex CD-R and scribble the song or album name on it and throw it in a generic slim CD case. I want the works and I'm willing to pay for it.

Now, if Live released FLAC versions of all the songs, plus a PDF of the liner notes and an exact replica of the CD label that I could print out and use, I might change my tune, but knowing how I am, I'd probably still go for the real deal. Besides... I don't even have a printer good enough to print the stuff as good as what we get from the store.

I'll buy that album from a store and be 100% happy with it. smile.gif
