Hoping to duplicate the success of Apple's iPod and iTunes Music Store, several companies have launched portable players tied to powerful music managers and music-download stores. One compelling entry of the past month is Dell's DJ Player with Dell Jukebox powered by Musicmatch ($249 for 15 GB; $299 for 20 GB). First, the bad news: at a hefty 7.6 oz.

They say one door closes and another opens. The demise of album packaging may also herald the rise of various other genres of musical iconography. Already labels are rushing to include bonus DVDs with new releases to encourage us music-lovers to buy the CD rather than simply download it. Unlike a photo, it takes more than a sultry or surly look to fill a video, which means that only those with the talent to hold your attention or those with the money or body to do so by other means can win this war.
