It would disrupt my collectors mentality and wouldn't be appropriate for all situations of music listening. After all I'm not going to go walk down the beach connected to the internet or sit at my PC/Mac/whatever to listen to music.
Totally agree. Plus, do artists get what's due from something like Spotify? I don't think so.

Maybe I'm being pessimistic, because, like Proggrl, I'm a collector and people like us go to bed with their new records, dammit! But the problem is bigger than not touching holding smelling admiring and caressing a cardboard or plastic box anymore: if the artist will have nobody out there to sell his record, nobody to press it (the biggest cd-pressers in the UK are shutting down, FFS!), nobody except a few maniacs to buy it, costs greater than the gain, there'll be NO MORE MUSIC!
And now, brothers and sisters, go in peace and God bless you all.
