You have the artwork and the feel of an actual physical product.
Granted, LPs possessed more artistic real estate than CDs, and sometimes included even larger posters. But does today's youth - still the prime song-buyers & concertgoers - really care about holding a physical thing, or the concept of ownership at all? Don't they just want to listen?
I'm seeing the trend with software, where discs aren't included in store-bought packages, it's all just a download. Basically, you're buying a license to use the software. Strictly virtual. And good luck loading it onto your 2nd laptop! At least with iTunes, you can have your songs on up to 5 of your computers/devices.
But I digress.
