One Problem with Music Services (in general)

Here's one issue I have with music services in general (Apple's included). I'm online and see a CD I would love to own (The Wallflowers - Red Letter Days). Price is only $9.99 so I buy it, download it, put it on my mp3 player and burn it to a CD.

The problem . . . what about an album cover or liner notes. For a music addict, those can be somewhat important. I like to have the cover where I can grab it and peruse from time to time while listening.

For some CDs the information is available through the artist's web site, but not always the case (and it means taking the time to dig up the information).

Someone needs to come up with a standard method for including meta information about the CD available with the mp3 download. Something that will include images and text, possibly in a format that if you print it out it folds nicely into a CD-size square and can slip into a paper CD-sleeve.
