I see them, I don't care for them, and I say so. It probably helped that
some list members have mentioned liking the Naxos covers; that put the
theme back in my mind.

I don't buy Naxos to save money; I buy it for the repertoire. No, the
artwork is not a big deal. But, providing attractive covers is not a big
deal either.

I wouldn't prefer it, but I could easily go with it. My purchases of Naxos
would not decrease any; I only get about 10 Naxos cds a year. Where does
the $2 estimate come from? Sounds mighty inflated.
I don't know how far anybody on the list wants to go with the cover
business. As Wes indicated, covers provide no clues as to the quality
inside. It's just that I think it is very inexpensive to provide covers
that I would find pleasing. Most of you would likely hate them, so let's
forget the whole thing.
