I don't know about anyone else, but I like the concept of "unbundling" 
the individual songs on a music CD.

Except for my favorite artists/bands, or for "best-of" CDs, on average I 
like maybe 3-5 tracks on the
average CD well enough to copy them to other media.  So for $3-5 vs. $12 
or more, I'm happy with the
arrangement.

IMO, of course.
