The Crash That Inspired Me

[Professor]

fack off. true...there's some lazy invovled in this decision...and also true, organization of digital files is pretty nice. but my point is more about the rediscovery of albums than the pros and cons of digitizing. however, i can see that in my post i'm leaning towards the cons. this crash just helped along my appreciation of the album instead of the shuffle.

i hate shuffle. never switch that option on anyway really

That's why we should take care of not having all our stuff in digital. We are in the "impalpable stuff" era.

Your experience shows that, yes, an album is a piece of art first, before being an plastic circle whose we can extract some stuff that hooked us at firsty time, and remember us that even a song that seems weaker in appearance when played single can have so many importance and interest in its context.

remember 99% of all albums suck. what percentage of the CD's in your collection do you like to listen to from the first track to the last without skipping any song? until you have both your entire collection digitized and your entire collection alphabatized on a huge CD/Vinyl rack behind your decks, you really can't comment on which is better. i'll never sell my CD's but i never listen to them anymore either. the point is, no matter what i'm talking about, i'm right. smilie fest 06!!!

u need to get some decent albums bro i listen to the majority of albums all the way thru, so i can hear it as a single piece of work rather than just a collection of tracks. good albums are better than the sum of their parts and the way an album is programmed can really help or hinder its success.

recommendations on a seperate thread titled: recommended albums that you can listen to straight through. i'll start with st. etienne - foxbase alpha and new order - technique..
