Put another way, in this digital age music is thought of as something you can share online--just another kind of data. But with single MP3 files, which are so easily copied and spread, music fans often lose the meaning and background of the whole album. Record covers and liner notes are also being forgotten.
再說，數位時代，音樂已被視為網路上所分享、下載的眾多資訊之一，但在隨手拷貝、複製一個個 MP3 檔案時，愛樂人常忽略了專輯創作的意涵與背景，唱片的封面設計與介紹圖文也被打入冷宮。
