For Windows: - Image viewer: nothing tops ACDSee _Classic_ (www.acdsee.com), it's fast to load and easy to use - Music player: Winamp
For Linux: - Video player: mplayer. although I noticed sometimes videos flicker when in fullscreen mode. the image transition is not smooth. (Any thoughts on how to fix that?) - Music player: mpg123
I believe CD sales have to be maintained by offering added-value. For example, the latest System of a Down CD did not have a cover booklet, but rather had embedded the pictures, lyrics and credits on the CD itself, only to be unlocked by an application downloadable from their website.
That's added value. The CD itself has more information and value than the collection of the same songs on mp3.
An album is not just the music that it has; it's a whole piece of art, expressed in the music, in the cover art, in the packaging, in the booklet, etc...
Such albums would make me want to buy the CD instead of just having the mp3s....
