We, the undersigned, would like Apple to start offering pdfs of album booklets for albums we purchase in the iTunes Music Store (heretofore known as iTMS). Having the music from the album is nice, but part of the whole music listening experience lies in looking through the booklet while listening to the album. Many booklets contain the lyrics which, when purchased from iTMS, we are denied that experience. Much work and money goes in to the creation of these CD booklets. Artists spend hours, days, even months creating the perfect artwork, and yet with iTMS we are given a 1 X 1 square representation of ONLY the cover. Booklets also contain songwriting and musician/producer credits. Only sometimes do these appear on the album pages in iTMS...and always in an abbreviated format. Artists spend much time creating their "Special Thanks"....all missing from iTMS. PLEASE consider making these available for downloading.

    • Talk about complainers. You want booklets and liner notes so bad? Then use the resources available to you; like, say, THE INTERNET. Lazy bums. Like you'll even look at the liner notes that much anyways.

    • As an admendment, these booklets should be included with the file if at all possible. It could be as a choice, since download times need to be considered, but it should be integrated into the entire iTunes experience. As a studio engineer and music fan, the information provided by the band in the booklet is not only critical for credits and thanks, but also a priceless look into how the artist wishes to portray the album

    • Actually a lyric effect should be built into iTunes Software whereby you could have the lyrics display when the song starts.
