do you ever release everything you record?

Agreed Seren.

Although these days it's not always possible,
I still prefer to have in my hand an actual CD with artwork,
over an anonymous file on a hard drive.

I also prefer to listen to my music on a hi fi,
through a decent set of speakers, rather than streamed from the internet.

A visual point of reference, such as artwork is important,
and adds to the experience of listening to an album in my opinion.

It may just be me, but I noticed I hardly ever look at the artwork of a cd anymore. Even though I still prefer a cd (not a cd-r) over a download. That also means I don't know any track titles anymore.

I don't study them in great detail the way I used to back when I bought vinyl,
but for me a good album cover often sets the tone for an album.

The track listing is convenient,
and any sleeve notes by the artist are always welcome....

it seems to be the case now.

no one likes to talk in-depth about recording, tips and tricks, gear, studio setups etc.
