I do like packaging and liner notes and I wish that was available for digital downloads (on iTunes it sometimes but rarely is) but I do not have any particular attachment to the CD as a format. It&#8217;s on its way out, I think. And here&#8217;s the part I have trouble beleiving about myself: even after working at a recording studio and having recorded several records, I am not bothered by the lossy format of AAC or MP3. I can hear it on real lo-res or old mp3s but I can&#8217;t really tell the difference with a 256kbps AAC encoding. So, keeping CDs as a better digital representation of my music really isn&#8217;t that important to me. All of this music will still be available somewhere in the future (except for the ultra-rare, which I&#8217;m keeping.<\/p>\n<p>that was my 2 cents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In response to Toby&#8217;s post on Record Store Day.
