Vinyl and Cassette Sales Continued to Grow Last Year

I buy CDs, since I want to own a copy of high-quality audio. I then copy them to my computer, and they sit in a box.

I no more want to flip through LP-style artwork than I do photographs of friends and family, which are also only digital. What I'd like is high resolution (at least 4K for my monitor/TV) artwork that could be shown while an album is playing.

Too bad the CD format makes it difficult to get a perfect rip. I prefer a FLAC (or WAV as I occasionally see) download over CDs, but CDs are my second choice, especially for older albums with used copies available.

Tools like Exact Audio Copy and cdparanoia have made it possible to do bit perfect DAE since the last millenuium.
