[Dixielandjazz] CD Jewel Box or Cardboard cover?

[Bill McCloskey]

I can't remember the last cd I bought. Almost all the music I buy is
digitally downloaded via Itunes or Emusic and when I do buy a CD, I
dowload it to Apple lossless format and play it from my computer from
then on. I never play CD's, in fact at the moment don't even have a cd
player hooked up to my stereo: everything comes from the computer.

Interestingly though, the last live gig I was at, where the musician
sold his stuff, he sold it in both CD and Flash Drive. The Flash Drive
had 3 of his CD's on it plus 2 sets of live music: about 5 hours of
music total and it cost me $20 plus I had the flash drive. The flash
Drive had his name and website printed on it and the great thing is
that you only have to buy a bunch of Flash Drives and you never have
to order a lot of CD's that you have to store: you burn what you need
to sell and never have to worry about a bunch of CD's that go unsold.
You also get to choose the bit rate that goes on their computer so you
have more control over the sound. I thought it was a great idea.
