To me, the order of tracks on an album is sacrosanct and I always listen
in strict sequence, even when it's a CD, unless I just want to play a
single track.

Likewise. I don't use an mp3 player and I don't use "shuffle" on the CD
player.

Anyway, it seems there are two schools of thought now that downloads are
all the rage and tracks are stored en masse on MP3 players. See the
phrase "The £12,000 speakers were revealing little nuances of sound that
some of us had not heard before." in this interesting article:

I reckon it's far more likely that it was the setting, the fact that
everyone was concentrating on the music that explains the hearing of
previously unheard "little nuances", rather than the £12,000 speakers.


Good point!
