I love the packaging aspect of vinyl/cd/dvd/ even cassettes, however,
 
I already own each of any albums which will be released, they are already loaded into my ipod, the actual albums/packaging etc sits in a cupboard rarely seeing the light of day.
 
I don't really see the point of buying yet another package for the same music. In some cases this may be the third or fifth copy i may have of an album on various formats. I'll buy the remasters and welcome the loss of the packaging. As much as I enjoy the artwork etc, for the amount of time I actually spend looking at it, a digital booklet will do me. More paper just seems wasteful.
 
Are people aware of any major environmental benefits of digitised music - obviously less use of paper, inks, plastics etc - ??? Any other benfits which groups might go for, other than it might be cheaper?

I agree Stephan. An iTunes-only release is totally lame. I have never bought a song from iTunes and I don't intend to. I am not a fan of "lossy" formats (unless I'm the one compressing the original track for my ipod:) and, having grown up in the age of vinyl, I am still very much into album packaging.
