Guest Protex Midget Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 I personalley think that the comp' should be released in a Digipack rather then a reguler CD case... What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jolly Roger Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 I have a hole in my knowledge: What the heck is digipack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouroboros Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 theres a hole in your knowledge dear jolly dear jolly theres a hole in your knowledge dear jolly a hole. digipacks are those stupid flimsy cardboard cd cases with a plastic tray poorly glued to them and no where to put i nice book filled with pretty images and informative liner notes. http://sdm.sony.com/pkg/digipack.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Inu Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 To put it another way: Digipacks are those stylish cardboard cd cases with artwork directly printed on the front & back, as opposed to a flimsy plastic jewel case with little pieces of paper stuck inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insejn Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 If it comes in a digipack i wont buy it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomble Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 I have to say that nice digipack design can be a lot more practical - they don't crack so easily and generally the little plastic bits that hold the hole in the cd are less flimsy. Digipack can have an insert too - Juno Reactors Shango has some pics inside, and some come with a slit to put a pull-out section. But the main advantage of jewel cases is that if the get messed up they are easily replaced. bomble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Agree completely. Juno Reactor's last two albums are examples of great packaging. I've said it before, but I think Bible of Dreams is The Perfect Package. And it's a Digipack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouroboros Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 digipacks main drawback is that the cardboard is very easily damaged. when it does get damaged you can not fix it. the artwork is unprotected and whatever inserts they use are limited in size. i know inserts in jewl cases are limited as well but you can fit much more in a jewlcase. and the spine on a digipack is horribly weak, they get smushed and bent out of shape very easily. did i mention that jewl cases are replaceable? if you break, scratch or otherwise damage a jewl case you can just take all the stuff out and put it in a new jewl case.

Guest Stacv Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 digipacks are by far better quality and the production is 3001500.88% better than the plastic old school covers. The beauty with Digi is the finish. Simply, it has a more stylish finish, professional finish peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouroboros Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 digipacks do not look "nicer" they just look glossy-er. that same exact look is possible with jewl cases...only it will be protected by a nice plastic cover and wont get all messed up. there is absoluely no advantage to a digipack. none. zip. ziltch. nada. goose eggs.

Guest Jeto Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I like putting artwork into my CD Book/CaseLogic so the digipak totally ruins it for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
