Music players: Whole albums VS Selected tracks

[GD]

I was reading in the 10 song shuffle thread, and saw that when evaluating others' shuffles, people would in some instances, rate the shuffle lower, because while it did have tracks by artists that the evaluator liked, it wasn't among their favourite tracks by said artists, or tracks they didn't like very much.

I then started thinking about how the shuffles wouldn't be very indicative of someone's musical taste in this respect unless they didn't carry whole albums on their music player/library, i.e. deleting certain tracks they didn't care for as much as others, despite being part of whole albums.

What is your stance on this? Are you completely content with having only or mostly selected tracks, or do you want have full albums in your library wherever possible? If you tend most towards the latter, how much do you feel you have to dislike a track (on an album that you assumingly otherwise like) to delete from your music player?

Personally, I'm definitely one for whole albums when it comes to this, with very few exceptions, almost being in pain if I was to delete a track (or more) from an album on my iPod, very much because there's this lingering thought that someday I may want to listen to that whole album while not having a cd player (or the cd itself) or my computer (to re-sync the track) available, and then the album is not what it was intended to be, gaaahh!!

edit: Urh, I was going to post a poll with this thread, but I was to slow in setting it up, so it timed out. Does anyone know of a way I can still add a poll to this thread? Thanks in advance.
