The way we listen to music now

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.

"listening to DJ sets"

that's what neo-ravers do, right? :-)

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)
