You really need to read it. I bet you can get it at CSU's library. Its only like 8 pages long ("Unpacking my Library", not Illuminations), and while Benjamin is talking about books, this work totally sums up why record collecting isn't as fun in the digital age. In fact, the whole essay sums up some of the negative consequences of "digitality" for me. Anyways, nice article.
