I like the format of albums and am a fan of when tracks flow seamlessly into the next, this might stem from the first album I bought on iTunes, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Time limits are no longer constrained in the digital domain, with the medium itself allowing for ‘unlimited’ storage.
The general consensus seems to be that streaming caters to ‘low’ attention and instant gratification. The trend of shorter pop songs, Tik Tok, and streaming income.
I was talking to my flatmate about how we each listen to music:
I usually listen to albums as a whole, from specific artists while she said that she usually listens to individual songs in genre playlists, both curated by herself and others (ai curation?).
