of course you can.. but with the margin for profit being pretty much zero, the spare cash to get a graphic designer/artist to make something for every single track.. isnt that accessible..
or we will be flooded with equally mediocre artwork
- You mean the way it's flooded with mediocre music? :pjtb26
- And I say that as a lover of music.jtb26

You can make a cover for every track, and that's precisely what's going to happen soon.

Albums themselves are dead..
dont get me wrong, it makes me sad.. i love the concept of whole albums.. but for the most part, its all about individual tracks..
and you cant make a cover for ever single track..- trueSunSunSun
- Whether this statement is true or not is heavily dependent upon the genre of music.melq

- I disagree on both points. I always download albums, almost never make mixes and have come across plenty of albums that have different album art for each track.CyBrainX

- And yet bands are releasing ep's and lp's on vinyl and there's a massive revival...they'll need covers.see_thru

Why? With the capacity and power of the devices we use to obtain and listen to music why are album covers now little more than avatars for the records we listen too.
Apple tried with iTunes LP but it falls way short. Are there any other alternatives out there to this?
Any better ideas - or is it just useless to expect the same experience I had with CD's and LP's on my phone or table? (I tend to think not, call me old fashioned)
