I Think The More Music Becomes Something You Could Simply Download And Have On Your Ipod, I Think To A Lot Of People That Is Plenty, But To Some People, They Still Want These Artifacts That Are Touchable, And You Can Smell Them, And Look At Them, And Hold Them And Just Have Other Dimensions Of Experience With This Music.
