My employer has a significant vinyl collection--it takes up one half of his garage. Pretty impressive, if you ask me. I love it because then I get to listen to all of my favorites as they were originally meant to be heard. He even has Sade's Diamond Life, of all things.
But I prefer my iPod because it goes with me everywhere.
And some artists put a lot of effort into their liner notes--even if they are with CDs. Look at Muse's last two releases. I used their last release, "Black Holes and Revelations" in an English class I was teaching to illustrate symbolism to the kids in a way they could literally see--and then let them listen to the music to draw their own conclusions. It was probably one of the best classes I've ever taught. The point is--it's out there if you look for it, and if you listen to artists that care about it.
