When it comes to soundtracks and film music, no matter how many times I've heard them I like to dig the booklets out and read a little or even look at the pictures as a sort of near total immersion. Can't do that by just selecting a title or number..
Even if I only have time for a few choice tracks.

I think the frustration, at least from me comes from the fact physical media isn't really obsolete. Instead we've gone backwards in time to a much larger, more expensive, inferior physical medium, the vinyl record. If the industry truly went all digital it would be an easier pill to swallow.
I agree, same for blurays, I have no intention of making movies all digital or streaming only, it is crazy.
And printed books are also easier to digest mentally, they are more tactile than a book on a tablet
My own kids are angry when the teacher say the book is 'only digital".
Oo, I love Blu-rays...& books.

I've come under fire here before for hoping for re-releases and expansions just for the liner notes, but I think informative and enlightening liner notes can enrich the experience when buying on disc. One cannot compare the excellent TOS Star Trek box from La La Land with, say, a digital download of the same. Or, say, the recent Legends of the Fall expansion compared to its original basic bare-bones release. I'd STILL love an expansion, however minor, of Glory if only to see it in a physical package the music deserves.
To be fair, I still think cd editions can only dimly compare to the good old days of vinyl albums as far as being a physical object to hold and look at, but that's an ancient observation that looks to be repeated when in the near future I look back on cd releases somewhat wistfully.

I know, but I figured I'd mention it before people start talking about which cheeses go well with which soundtracks.
French scores, like Delerue and Sarde, go well with Roquefort, olives, crackers, and a cool glass of Chardonney, though Maurice Jarre is better with a glass of Merlot.

Lost a number of my CDs in a fire. The drive I backed them up on, however, was safe. Also, the digital scores I purchased I could redownload because my iTunes account didn't burn up in the fire.
If all there that is available is a digital download, I'll buy it without question as long as the bit rate is no less than a CD. It doesn't matter, it'll sound no worse than a CD. And since CDs are just plastic things that store DIGITAL MEDIA, what's the difference? The music was stored, preserved and restored in the digital realm. You're getting a digital file on a plastic disc. All you're getting that is different is the shiny plastic disc, the fragile (and usually broken) case and - of you're lucky, liner notes. I just wish the price difference was more substantial, but it's fine. The music is paramount to me. Collecting the physical thing on a shelf or to store in a box isn't as important to me as it once was.
