from conversations i've had both online and in real life, this seems to be a generational thing but.....

do you read liner notes? do you check on occasion who happens to produce a particular piece on a cd? do you read lyrics? note song writers?

me? i come from the 'gotta have them' faction. part of the allure of music buying for me is knowing as much as i possibly can about a particular band, artist, producer. i find treasures hidden in musician lineups...artists i never would have discovered had i not read liner notes. one of the reasons i've never taken to burning music from cyberland is the lack of liner notes. i like the artwork.

you?
