I understand what you mean and most of the time I tend to agree with the above. There are just other times when it is nice to "slow down". These are the moments I could enjoy all of the above :-) And there is a good thing about that: yes one tends to listen to the complete album and not just press the skip forward button. That also made me rediscover music too. So you see, there is something positive in everything!
