Posted August 17, 200816 yr The iPod has shrunk pop artwork to the size of a stamp. Can it survive? In little more than one square foot, the album cover captured the dreams, hopes and fears of a music-loving generation. If CDs left the record sleeve mortally wounded, downloading has performed the coup de grâce on album artwork. The cover, considered as important as the music it housed, was considered integral to the whole experience of owning an LP, to be studied in minute detail by the rock fan. See whole article here : http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertai...rip-899779.html Do you agree downloading music has spelt the death knell for album covers? Does today’s music buyers care if album artwork became extinct?
August 18, 200816 yr I think most people who grew up after the vinyl age probably don't have an affinity with cover art as it's probably not considered important to them. I grew up with vinyl and I used to love looking at album - and single - covers.

For example I loved how The Smiths singles & albums had the same style of covers. Whilst album covers by the likes of Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin were events in themselves.
