I think that the shift from albums to songs is as much to do with the artists, as with the listening habits of fans.
In the past, the albums flow and play order was more of an issue. With lp's, going directly to a certain track is a delicate movement of the needle. Not the button of a cd player.
Ever notice that on an album that's more a collection of potential hit-singles, than a piece of music,the production varies from track to track?

My main complaint with discs, (Besides the SQ- which is getting better) is the length. I love 'Amputecheture', but 78 min? That's a long time to listen with the attention that the album deserves.
