One of the great things about Vinyl

It’s easy to listen all the way to the end of side on an lp.  The timings are short.

I can't believe how good it sounds with the Ortofon 2m Bronze 

Seems like you have a nice system and TT. The 2M Bronze is holding you back. If your phono stage supports LOMC perhaps step up to a Hana ML. This is exactly what I did (Bronze to Hana) and wished I did it sooner.  

Thanks, it is only temporary as I can now use MC cartridges.   I think I'm going to buy a record cleaner next and then experiment with a nice MC 

Unless I am interrupted or using the music as background fill I always listen to an entire album straight through. An album is an artistic statement. You do not look at an important painting by staring only at the left upper corner. 

There are bad albums that might have one good song. I will download the one good song and put it in one of my background play lists.

A totally sensible way to procure and enjoy music with both formats.
