Depends if you need it

Depends if you buy music for the music, or to get mixed up in the artists' heads. Much like if you buy the deluxe editions of DVDs for all the special features or the basic to just get the movie.

I started with buying vinyl, then buying cassettes, then vinyl transferred to cassettes on a Nakamichi, then CDs, now WMA from CDs.

Throughout that evolution, the space for extranious infomation has steadily decreased.

Now there are USB albums, but I don't understand why SD (and microSD) does not become a medium for distribution of full wave or lossless music files. I have considered them for distribution of our music at full fidelity (basically, put in a normal envelope for standard postage and so small that they are unlikely to get damaged if the envelope is folded).

For those that really want the info, websites can amply provide it, or have pdfs on the ditribution media. Online sites are in a bind as it has to have a consistent mechanism for providing what can be a wide variation in the info available for tracks.
