I wouldn't consider myself a dyed in the wool Audiophile, but I do appreciate well tagged music with cover art... and most friends who browse my music collection appreciate it too, maybe not so much for the beauty of it (to me) to have things completed, but also from a utility standpoint. It was even worth $20 to one person to have me organize their music the way I do. Even if it is declining, I think many people still place some value on well tagged media, especially when you are using ID3 tags to sort the music, or if you aren't, folder organization really helps. You are right that they don't worry/care much, but they still appreciate it for its utility.

"...They probably don't worry about playlists, about perfect tagging, about covers, about song tracklisting. Think about it this way: just 5 years ago, people were buying CD's and five years before that, they organised CD's alphabetically. The market isn't even ten years old yet, so I doubt that even dyed in the wool 'audiophiles' spend much time organising playlists..."
