First, not everyone wants CDs anymore. The assumption that someone always wants a physical product, in today's world, is ridiculous. I don't have room in my house anymore and stopped buying CDs about 4 years ago. I've really not regretted it. If you don't want to sell it track by track, that's fine. Sell the album as a complete download. But good grief, sell it as a download! You can still print CDs and vinyl for those who want it. But to not even give the option for a download?! Dumb, and frustrating.


Second, for many of us who already have this album on CD (I had this before I gave up CDs), it feels like a waste to have to pay the full cost of a CD, plus shipping, for a physical product I don't want. All I am interested in is the new music files, not the physical product. I'm tempted to rip the songs from the CD and sell it used immediately afterward, but that is technically stealing, so I won't. But when you don't give an option for downloading music, it makes me angry and leads me to want to recoup as much of the cost as I can.


I don't mean disrespect to Bill, and he is not alone on this. But guys like him need to come into the 21st century. Make these albums available for download and please stop insisting on people purchasing a physical copy.
