Did MP3s stop us from caring about lyrics?

Black clouds & silver linings - 2009 I was listening to the new Dream Theater album today, downloaded via ZunePass and is phenomenal by the way, and I had a thought. I really miss CD jackets. I miss being able to read the lyrics. I also hate having to try and read them from the myriad of spam and malware filled lyric sites on the internet.

So I am just wondering, why is there no quality, safe place to get lyrics for the albums we are buying?

I want my stinking lyrics back. Why don’t we insist that the lyrics are packaged in the MP3 meta data, and that the players provide the UI to view them on the device. Seems pretty simple and obvious to me, duh.

Petition anyone?
