Edhe në epokën dixhitale, me skedarë dhe aplikacione që e bëjnë të lehtë aksesin në muzikë, vinyl është rikthyer. Kopertinat, të cilat mund të jenë thjesht një mbrojtje për përmbajtjen, hapin hapësirë për shprehjen e artistëve vizualë dhe, shumë herë, bëhen po aq të rëndësishme sa vetë albumi.
Ndonjëherë, madje, mundet edhe kushton më shumë se sa albumi – ata thonë se kopertina e Blue Monday, nga grupi rock i viteve 80 New Order, ishte aq i shtrenjtë sa që kompania diskografike humbi para me çdo kopje.
Uebfaqja Short List zgjodhi 50 kopertinat më të bukura të gjithe kohes. Lista përfshin Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) dhe Abbey Road (1969) nga Beatles , Nevermind (1991) nga Nirvana , Anija mbërrin shumë vonë për të shpëtuar një shtrigë që po mbytet (1982) nga Frank Zappa , Homogenic, nga Björk , plus disa nga Pink Floyd .
