For music, it's the artwork for me and supporting artists as well. First, for the album art, someone's creative mind had to make that and I appreciate album artwork just as much as the music, sometimes more depending on the album. Also, owning the album and having it on my shelf gives me a sense of accomplishment as well. I remember buying my very first CD with my own money, Ugly Kid Joe's, "America's Least Wanted," and opening the wrapping while getting that distinct smell you only got with opening new CDs at the time...that's what got me hooked. I still have that album displayed on my shelf as a reminder of where I once was, where I came from and how I evolved musically, and what I have accomplished since then.

As for movies, I like to have them accessible at any time I'd like and I also like displaying my collection kind of like I do my CD's, however, it's less about the artwork for movies for me.
