I wrote "ruin" simply because it was in the thread title. It does sound a bit exaggerated.

When you brought it up earlier, I disagreed because I argued that by extracting just a few songs, you're no longer enjoying the album, you're enjoying a collection of songs extracted from it. To me, album implies the whole thing. If you're extracting what you like and leave the rest, I'd say you're enjoying part of the album.
