So we will have mp3 downloads that are, in fact worse format than on 
standard CD. Also, we will have no liner notes, pictures, booklets, 
nothing, just plain downloads... Well, I can't imagine that picture 
clearly...

We already have it this way.
An increasing part of today's popular music is released in mp3 format 
only; some, though, is offered as wav files as well.
As for booklets etc. this is being replaced by websites which, 
sometimes, have much more information than any earlier format. Bad for 
those who don't use the net, good for us.
And don't forget: "thanks to" the low cost of non-physical releases we 
now have more music from the 78 rpm era accessible than ever before. 
Which, in turn, generates interest in artists, composers, labels etc. 
and produces zillions of websites dedicated to them.
Why worry?
