Apple is working with Major Labels is start creating Interactive Albums for consumers (supposedly working with EMI, Sony, Warner, Universal). They're rumored to be putting together lyric sheets, arts, etc. As I always say, interactive albums may one day become the norm.
This is the best way to begin increasing album sales, which is their goal. Some believe that this will be ill-fated however it is more likely that this move with bring a positive change to the industry.
The truth is that people need a reason to buy an album right now. Anyone can download Transmission on their mac and begin torrenting rapidly. So interactive albums will probably be the best way to raise album sales.
However this needs to come to the point that songs can be custom. Being able to customize your favorite tunes will definitely raise album sales.

It goes into much more detail of these ideas.
