Sometimes I'll listen to literally every song I own on shuffle; sometimes I'll listen to one song on loop for hours. A good album presents a playlist arrangement by the artist. I could just listen to the digital copies in order, but I'm more likely to jump around and skip songs when given the option. The constraints of the vinyl format makes it more likely I'll listen the whole way through, at most selecting whether to listen to both A and B sides. Unsurprisingly, I only own a few records, of artists and albums I particularly like. Otherwise I just pick and choose individual songs from a digital marketplace.
