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.
