Buying music digitally sucks

If I'm paying for music I like to have a cd, case, and physical lyric sheet. Sad

I'm buying Spinnerette's EP that was released yesterday (or two days ago, not sure) because I don't know how long it will take to get on torrent sites and because it's only $5. It's nice that it's going to the band... but I like having something real and not just something I could have downloaded for free.

Lame.

I prefer to have a physical object in exchange for my money.

I'm hoping they'll be awesome like Trent Reznor and offer physical copies later to the people that actually paid for it.

I'd be all for paying a small fee for downloads if they weren't plagued with DRM, and if they were high bitrate.

Even though I never listen to CDs anymore, I still prefer to buy them and rip them to my computer, rather than purchasing digital downloads.

If they did it like NIN and Saul Williams you do get a book.

There is a lyrics book .pdf but I want physical things.
