As the world of music moves away from tangible forms of media like CDs and LPs to its digital counterparts, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate all of these clever CD creations.
Eventually children will be asked what their first downloaded song was as opposed to their first CD purchase. Almost gone are the days of waiting for a CD to come out or even burning your own from a friend's copy. These clever CD creations pay homage to a technology that is almost dead, but will never be forgotten.
