To hold it in my hands and look at the pictures in the booklet. So to me, buying a CD is -all- about the packaging. Because I can hear the music on my computer all I want without it.

If that makes me idiotic then so be it.
I agree 100%. Other way I see it is if I'm spending the $20 on a 4 track CD, might as well like the whole package (cover and booklet). For me, if I don't like the cover of an album/single it kind of brings the value down to me. Like you said evolution7931, I could just download the songs if I wanted them.
