The idea of some kind of standardized method to bundle audio tracks, liner artwork, etc. is a good idea. If they are planning to use something other than MP3 and/or FLAC for the audio tracks I can't see how this will succeed. Even FLAC would be questionable because of iTunes/iPod support.
If one were to create such a standardized bundling format I can't imagine spending more than a day developing it. The bundle itself should be something simple like a ZIP file with a different extension. The audio files could be MP3. The artwork could be PDF.

But they didn't develop it: they almost certainly hired some IT consulting firm who billed them six or seven figures and spent months (or years) coming up with this ground-breaking innovation.
