Perhaps. It's a major part of my experience, that's for sure.
Perhaps our kids will have a different experience - and that may not
be a bad thing. My only point is that in a world with only downloaded
purchases, kids won't have many experiences buying music.
Maybe in a couple of years you will bring your iPod to the mall or
supermarket, slide a couple of bucks into a vending machine, connect
your iPod and get a song or two, along with some art and lyrics. And
kids may love it as much as we love the tactile thing.
