Kicking & Screaming...

Feeling sort of ol' fashioned, digitally speaking: I like my CD-R format & am having trouble with this whole i-Pod thang. I mean, cool concept (lugging half a million tunes on yr belt loop) but where is the space for artwork?

I dislike the idea of nameless, faceless tunes, able to be strung together in a thousand ways...but with no real defined character (as would be the case if they were put together in mix format).

I suppose the "i-Pod-as Garage" concpet works better for me: house them there, arrange them in a particular order, then burn them to disc & slap a piece of Adobe Illustrator generated art onto the jewel case.

I'll have to think about that...(developing)
