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. 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:

What goes around, comes around! :-)

Since getting a Squeezebox, I now have two modes of listening. For classical
and most Jazz, I'll listen to a whole work all the way through. I HATE the
ClassicFM mode of only playing the popular bits of any work. However for
most rock (a few albums excepted, like DSOTM), I use a playlist shuffled.
It's like having my own radio station with no chatter, just playing my sort
of music, but with the added frisson of "wonder what come next"

I don't think I've played a CD in many weeks. I do play the odd record, but
it's getting increasingly rare, in spite of having four turntables.
