Haha yeah.. it depends on what kind of music it is. If it's repetitive I listen passively like Progressive house for example. It's not "repetitive" per se, but not much usually goes on. Which is a good thing cause it's meant to be chilled and slow

I'm not sure if this is true or not. Usually, I'll listen to an album after I've heard a couple of songs from it. So I can skip those songs and listen to the ones I like.

I also have a horrible tendency to skip songs if I don't like the first thirty seconds.

Meg & Dia's new CD basically experienced a few minutes of my listening. Luckily, I sat down and tried to listen to it again and realized how much it sucked. So I realized I didn't miss much the first time. xD

im just fidgety, i get bored easily so the 10min songs cant appeal to me if i feel in a lazy mood. normally i put a limit on the time & will skip a song i see the time is too long, many a time have i listened to a full song without realising its 10mins long though

my worst habit ever. when itunes is on shuffle n it goes back to that song, il pay attention when the good part kicks in, n when i find out what song it is, i usually kick myself for thinking it was shite earlier

Totally depends on the artist, but good question...

Now with playlists on an iPod, the Albums are sort of irrelevant.

Rickenbacker · 09-16-2009, 04:19 PM

NO. They absolutely aren't.

That's like saying "now with mix cassette tapes, the albums are sort of irrelevant."

Of course that's not true. Nearly all of the music I listen to is in album form, even on my ipod.

Agreed. That's what it's like for me, too.
