Digital booklets

[magister]

I also would really like to have access to PDF booklets--as classical11 says, this is one of the main things that keeps us from ditching physical disks completely. If an album I download provides a booklet, I store it in the same directory as the FLAC files; I think it would be reasonable to establish this as a convention, thereby avoiding security issues if a server had to look elsewhere to find the booklets. I would prefer not to rename them all "booklet.pdf." Software should also allow for the possibility that there might be more than one PDF in a directory. Downloads from eClassical (BIS) provide the inlay card for the back of a CD case as well as the booklet. I keep both, even though I will never make a physical CD, because it's often faster to look at the card if I just want a quick reminder about what's on the album.

As a workaround, I copy some of the booklets to my iPad so I can access them with GoodReader (or whatever PDF app you use). This is nowhere near as nice as getting the PDF right from the control point, and takes up extra space on the tablet, but at least I don't have to take out a physical disk or go to my computer.
