Listening to full LPs vs virtually endless digital tracks.

I still truly enjoy putting on an LP and listening to Side 1 and then Side 2. I put a CD on and listen to it from beginning to end.  I'll ring up an album on Qobuz that I don't have and let it unfold start to finish.

I love listening to vinyl from start to finish. I love variety. It doesn't have to be an either/or proposition.

Hooked me in with "Listening to full LPs" only to slam the door with "virtually endless digital" which would be the exact definition of hell were it not for, "virtually". At least with "virtually" one can always hope for an end to it at some point.

Pandora for those who know their history is aptly named. In modern times an idiom has grown from it meaning "Any source of great and unexpected troubles", or alternatively "A present which seems valuable but which in reality is a curse".

Due to time constraints I like listening to half of an LP or CD. Never individual tracks!

I listen to Classical and so usually it’s the whole album.  I have no desire to hear, say for example,  the second movement of Schubert Unfinished followed by the finale of Mozart Rondo Alla Turk  Piano Sonata, even though there are Classical Radio and Pandora like stations that do that sort of thing.  One of things that I don’t like about streaming is that when I import a CD the tracks are frequently out of order, a real annoyance in Classical.  So whether it is a whole album as an lp, CD, or streamed would then revert to the other vinyl v. digital issues.
  When I do listen to pop, it’s usually just one or two songs by the same Artist.  Here streaming is a real advantage, as what a pain it would be to change a physical media 5 minutes or so
