While I do appreciate Itunes and things like Ipods & other mp3 player gadgets, my only gripe about them is that they ruined the magic of listening to the “album”. Thanks to Itunes, people now mistakenly believe that listening to “single” songs on an Ipod is the right way to go about listening to music. They just pick their favorite songs to listen to off the album and many even listen to only “radio” hit singles. A lot of people have been doing this in this day and age. Listening to their favorite “single” songs instead of the full album itself.

If you asked me what songs that are on my Ipod, you probably won’t get much of an answer. My answer will probably be, “I listen to albums, not single songs”. It’s true. I’m a full album guy. I’m not very selective and picky of the music that I listen to like a lot of people are. Instead of listening to the whole album itself, people would only listen to the songs that they like on it and ignore the ones they don’t care for.

That’s not how I listen to music. I repeat, I’m a full album kind of guy. In order to be a “true music lover”, you need to appreciate the album like a piece of art. No need to be so picky at all, just listen to the entire album and enjoy.

When I listen to albums, I’m not the one to pick which songs are great and which songs are bad. I like to critique the whole album itself. I don’t like those who just pick a few songs to listen to off an album. If you buy and album and if you’re picky of what songs to listen then why be a fan of music at all??? That’s the only thing I don’t like about music sites like Itunes and Spotify.

Appreciate albums like a piece of art. That’s how you show your true love for music and your passion for it. When I put on an album, I almost always listen through the whole thing from start to finish. That’s how music is supposed to be listened to, in my opinion. That’s the way it used to be in the old days but when Itunes/Spotify came around and changed things.

When I buy an album, I’ll probably appreciate all the songs on it. Kind of hard to explain but I think you know where I’m getting at. It’s pretty rare that I’ll dislike an album. Mostly all the albums I bought over the years are pretty good. If I buy an album and don’t like it, I’ll just get rid of it.

Appreciate music like an art. Being selective of songs to listen to is not showing your true passion for music, in my opinion.
