I don't really know how to make this clear and or make sense, so here goes:
When I was a kid, I would listen to music on tape. I would listen to the same album over and over in order. When I got a CD player I found that I was skipping tracks, making mix tapes and stuff. This changed the way that I listened to music drastically. Now I have my iPod an infinate access to music and I find that I have reverted back to the cassette listeneing habits, I will listen to the same album over and over.
This aimed at the younger members (post internetters) of the board as I am interested in how you listen to stuff now. In that, do you find that the stinker track on an album becomes a grower or do you just skip/erase it?
Media has changed so much now and this has a direct effect on the music produced. Would I have given the time to the pile of pretensious crap that is my music collection if I had grown up with the infinate selection provided by them thar internet pirrrates?

I stick one end of a wire in the subwoofer, then put the other in my butthole and feel the vibrations.

For me the beauty of cassettes was the fact that unless you had one of those fancy cassette players that found the gap in tracks you had no choice but to listen to the whole album. Which I think has influenced the way I listen to stuff now.

i've sorta got a mixed bag way of listening.....
on the iPod I have huge playlists that rattle up and down on random in a particular genre. But then I also make playlists that are fairly short and only cover a couple of items...
Recently I posted my first iMix on iTunes... which I thought was pretty cool.
I have definitely walked away from listening to DJ sets and moved more into listening to tunes/songs... which for me has been quite a change. Last time I listened to songs was back when I use to make my own cassette tape mix tapes.

i think it has more to do with sitting in front of a computer. if youre doing anything else its easier to let something run.

this is true. sometimes when i wanna listen to a certain album, i'll put on some mindless brain dead game and just half concentrate on that while listening to the music.
um, i mostly listen to albums. i also sometimes listen to certain playlists ive made on my ipod, or variations of the album if there a certain tracks i dont like and such.

back in the olden days people would listen to a whole album and that would be that. these days you just listen to the bits of tracks that you like. it is cool. hey hey

almost always listen to the full release. i have to admit it's easy to skip a stinker, and maybe it's not always given the time it deserves. but then again, maybe a year later i rediscover the release and then suddenly find the stinker to be a wonder

fast internet connection, the good availability of music, large disc place--> listening less to each album.
I guees i hear through more albums now then i was younger, but on the other hand i dont listen so much to each of them and therefore i probably miss good tracks/albums.
the mp3 listening is not the same, much more quality listening when i hear cassette tapes, cd and vinyls. It is to easy to skip songs, make playlist, add new songs, skip the position etc

on the other hand if I use my mp3 player, there are some quality listening (at least if I dont use the bad speaker which followed the player)
