Eh, maybe, but with the internet there are so many more ways to discover music these days, and so much more potential for small bands to get recognition that I don't think the loss of album-based music discovery is all that lamentable. Internet radio and services like Rhapsody definitely have me exploring the far end of the "long tail" much more than I would ever be if I could only listen to FM radio or spend my hard-earned money on albums. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33966 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
