"Well, it's because I'm finding that an increasing number of my CDs don't come packaged properly. CDs need to be in a case (plastic or cardboard) with the CD mounted on a spindle."
"I hate getting a CD that slides into a cardboard envelope, needing to be slid in and out all the time and in danger of getting covered in scratches or fingerprints.."
"I find myself getting the discs out once and converting to MP3, then never again having the heart to manhandle them out of the envelopes. I was taught to handle cds with respect.."
"I could understand if we were talking the sort of CDs sold to smelly young people that have CDs strewn all over the lounge floor and not in their cases and would probably rather have MP3 files anyway."
"But we're talking Eagles, Floyd, Trucks, Gilmour, etc. These are artists that appeal to people in my generation who love their music and their cds. Something's wrong here."
"The cds on this list are all fantastic but I hereby name and shame them for their unacceptable packaging. Please vote this list helpful if you share my anger at this increasingly widespead practice."
