Comment on Spotify’s 3rd price hike in 2.5 years hints at potential new normal
Powderhorn@beehaw.org 2 days agoThere are several albums I listen to as a complete work. But you can’t tell me that albums with one good track and a bunch of detritus weren’t a thing.

But why listen to just one song? It seems a waste to sit down, put on headphones or fire up the livingroom stereo, all for only a single pice of music.

What makes you think it is just one song? In the 1980s it was a mix tape that took the good tracks from several albums. With computers it is a playlist. Or more often it is a play random tracks from my large collection until I hit stop.
I do listen to just one song once in a while when that is all I have time for, or when some song comes to mind that I want to hear. However mostly it is a playlist that I created.
There are a few albums that are related collection and work best listened together, but most are just a bunch of songs and you can listen in any order.

I was playing a role to try to make a point to the OP.

I guess that’s certainly a thing to do. But not all albums are journeys, and thus, one buys individual tracks because the rest of it sucks.

I mean, I can just choose a track on my phone or computer, hit play and have music. I don’t currently have a speaker setup.

That’s no way to enjoy music. You can hardly hear anything on that tinny little phone speaker.

The computer speakers aren’t terrible, and my earbuds acquit themselves decently when using my phone. Would I like some nice 8" speakers and a subwoofer? Sure. Not realistic in a van.
