Same with albums, even if I hate a particular song, I'll listen to it since it's part of the album... part of the experience. It's just a weird quirk that I have.

Well, you don't have to rip the whole thing to one file to be able to listen to it as if it were a CD. I mean, I listen to full albums all the time, but I still rip to different songs. The player I use (foobar) string them together seamlessly. Many other players do the same. When you have the different songs as files, you can do more than just play them individually. You can f.ex scrobble them to last.fm or rate them.
So, in other words, I can only see downsides to ripping it as one file when there are multiple tracks.
