Me too.

So do I. Not that I've bought any sort of music in the recent past (does "We Are the Dinosaurs" count?).

Me too. But there is a bright side: a friend of mine put out a double album and we decided to not put any liner notes in it at all. Instead, we printed her web address on it, and there is a great big PDF file with far more content than could fit on a CD case.
The other upside is this: we had to censor the CD cover art for retailers, but the PDF file has the original naughty version.

I miss the album art, as well. The artwork now sucks. Usually, a picture of the artist (soulfully in black & white), or a swimg on a playground (rusting). Anyone remember Elton John's "Captain Fantastic"? I stared at that for HOURS.

I've noticed that iTunes has tried to provide a little solace with their digital booklets but it's definitely not the same.

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me realize my dream of commenting on a post about liner notes.

I miss liner notes and fancy album covers too...

Another sign of the decline of the music business. "Old fogeys" like me (age 40) remember LP vinyl albums with huge artwork and pull-out lyric sheets and liner notes. Then CDs came along and everything got down-sized. But some CDs had multi-paged liner notes stuffed into the plastic insert-cover. Now with MP3 downloads, there's no such thing. The concept of an "album" is pretty much dead, too. People buy tracks - regardless of how they were meant to play in sequence (if any artists, indeed, still do this?). It's all very interesting.
