It's true. An LP defines a concrete slice of time, defined by decisions made by the artists and the producers. That work and craft is different from the playlist creator. Also, the management of a record collection takes attention and patience. A record collection itself is a type of identity repo, a lot like Walter Benjamin's library, e.g. I will argue that CD's cannot capture a certain plangent timbre, though I've never found any research to back that up (hard as I have tried).
