But the horrible thing is that the younger generation doesn't even really Care about packaging anymore. At least not as much as we do...

I had forgotten all about the CD Long Boxes. I was originally saving them for some sort of grand project but tossed what I had when they stopped shipping them - which in retrospect was probably a mistake. I have tried various ways of hanging album art on the wall. In my college apartment I had a display area for 24 albums that was very cool - and I could swap it out and rearrange it based on mood or theme. I hadn't thought about what will happen as we get more and more digital - I don't even do the download thing because of the lack of packaging. SB Heya - thanks for catching my article.

There's a lot of options. There has to be some sort of print solution, even if the album is sold digitally. Seeing the artwork on your screen, no matter how big, just isn't the same as holding it on paper/cardboard. Man, I don’t know. There’s a lot of options.

CD’s in vinyl-sized packaging 2. album artwork into vinyl-sized posters 3. standard CD long boxes (dude!) Only problem might be higher shipping costs because of the large format, if you buy your physical CDs online (for the retailers as well if you want). The importance of artwork simply must not die in the digital music revolution! I would welcome all three options with open arms:
