I still like liner notes, but I can bring up on my pc often those notes or more extensive info if I need to and at any font I want....I still need reading glasses for many liner notes with vinyl these days. The liner notes with CDs are kinda hard to read usually but scan and enlarge and save and voila!
I liked the smell when I was rolling a joint on them more than the smell of paper/glue/vinyl, but then I liked sniffing mimeographed tests, so go figure. The silence was what immediately sold me on digital and what reminds me everytime I put one on....even my vinyl where that's almost absent there's still usually something to give it away at a moment I'd rather hear silent background. Then again there is something satisfying my nostalgia at times as the stylus hits the groove....or hits the runout groove....especially when I've gotta do that every 15-20 minutes it gets my attention real good
Cleaning/maintenance isn't horrible but something far easier with even a disc let alone a file on a drive (let alone keeping it in pristine shape). Suum cuique, tho.
