| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? Rap or hip-hop: about 15 seconds. Most contemporary pop/rock: first listen. Selected pop artists (mostly indie, e.g. Kate Bush): a couple of listens. Springsteen: ain't gonna happen in this lifetime. | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I don't stream, and haven't listened to any of the hundreds of digital downloads I purchased a decade (or two?) ago in, well, about a decade. I like the experience of selecting physical media (LP, CD or whatever), and I've got more to listen to t... | |
