Do you listen to entire albums anymore?

[flobadob]

Back in the day when you only had a cassette tape you pretty much listened to it from start to finish and started again or changed cassette and repeated the process. With the CD it became easier to skip a track that you didn't like, or play your favourite ones a few times in a row, but you still pretty much listened to the whole, or most of an album whilst it was in your CD player.

Now with the advent of MP3 players, Ipods etc. it is very easy to shuffle around ever song which you have on it which could be 100s into the 1000s. So do you now find yourself shuffling around all your tracks rather than just enjoying entire albums all at once as they should be listened to?

I am with Prudie on this one. Only when I am in the car do I do this otherwise I just listen to 'the best bits'.

[ummmm]

No it's not unfair Erin....If he can't put you down about your spelling, he'll put you down over your music tastes.

This is a man who belittles people about their education....with not an ounce of information about their background.

Makes me sick....

Signing off....goodnight.

Condom? What?

He's just saying that he'd prefer to listen to Rubber Soul than anything by Dolly Parton... ;-)

[flobadob]

Mark I'm just enquiring how you define music? Would you not think it better to say that there are songs you like and songs you don't? Rather than saying music you like and music you don't.

[fliptheswitch]

Ah, sorry. I have to switch it off, I really do hate it that much!

Ummmm, that's completely untrue. Mark hasn't put anyone down, he's merely making a point. I've also never seen him have a go at someone for their "education". My spelling and grammar is pretty awful, and he's not once "put me down". Bit harsh, I think.

[MarkRae]

Flobadob, since all songs are music, it really is the same thing..

[fliptheswitch]

Ohhhh! Lol.
I've just realised, I quite like Dolly Parton, so I take it all back :D

[erin-x]

Oh now it's getting personal..... How can you say each to their own and then declare your taste superior in one sentence? LOL

[flobadob]

But Mark above you said, and I quote "Er, well, just as all dogs are animals but not all animals are dogs, all songs are music but not all music is songs."

[fliptheswitch]

To be fair, if anyone's taste is superior, then it's mine.

Steps... 'nuff said :))

[fliptheswitch]

Flobadob, does it really matter?

[MarkRae]

That's correct. Since all songs are music, then my comment about there being only two types of music clearly also applies to songs.

Or perhaps you don't agree that all songs are music? Which songs aren't? And what are they if they aren't?
