Ive had this idea floating around my head for a while and since I haven't seen any stores like this pop up I'll let my idea out here and see if anyone likes it.

Seeing that there are still those music traditionalists out there who like to see the liner notes and hold the CD cover/artwork in their hands that go with the music I thought that a cool idea for an Itunes/digital music store would kind of a docking station for IPod/digital music players.

The store would provide docks in which owners of IPods and other digital devices could plug in and download the music via their format of choice. The store would negotiate a percentage of the purchase to pay for the docks and overhead and to make their profit.

The real catch would be that after downloading the user could come to customer service who would carry the CD booklets of the top albums and be able to special order any that were not in stock. The linernotes/booklets would run a small fee say 2-3 bucks per depending on the album, more for boxsets and bigger compilations.

Everyone wins in this situation, the purists get the liner notes/packaging that would go with the music and get their music downloaded, one stop shopping. That is the one thing I miss when I buy a record on ITunes, no liner notes, no cd cover to look through.

Thoughts? Like/Dislike? If you have the capital to sponsor this idea let me know.
