Re: I'm glad there is a way...

"I guess I wasn't clear. There is no printing of the liner notes. The goal is to display it electronically."

I guess I wasn't clear either. No disputing the convenience of downloaded music, servers, jukebox software, displaying excellent images online, etc. However - there's a lot of other things I like in those CD jackets, other than the lyrics.

For example, in my new David Bromberg CD "Try Me One More Time", there's a lot of good stuff in the "liner notes". This is not just lyrics and artist pictures, it's a lot of annotations Bromberg provided with each song - stories about what inspired each song, stories about his encounters with Blind Rev Gary Davis, Bob Dylan etc.

For these same reasons, I often opt for the "deluxe" versions of remastered CD's (Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Jeff Buckley to name just a few) that often contain extra printed material, unreleased tunes, B-sides, etc. The Box Sets have more impressive printed materials (CSN, Steely Dan, Pentangle, Dylan to name a few). I was just lamenting that they're not (likely) providing all of that online with my purchased download.
