I listen to albums and sometimes individual tracks if I don't like the album as a whole. I never listen to collections of songs from different bands.

I don't usually like the whole alums, so I listen to tracks.

Actually, I can best concentrate and listen to the music, and follow the flow from one track to the next one when I don't think about tracks at all - which I didn't in many years. On the other hand, knowing the tracks can give me best overview for the album as entirety.

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

For me it's a bit of both. I have 5000 albums on a hard drive, with about 50 playlists. I will often let it play at random until a track comes up that makes me want to listen to the whole album.
Until about a year ago I had an hour long commute and I had a 160gb iPod classic filled almost exclusively with music featured on PA. I would put it on shuffle and no matter what came up I would listen to the album in its entirety on my in (and on the return journey if it was a double album). I like the way that the shuffle feature can remind you of a half forgotten gem, or indeed remind you why you haven't listened to something for years. |

Tracks every time. There’s a reason they’re separate. It’s not a movie. It’s a bunch of songs

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I probably listen to albums the majority of the time, either in full. Or I often play minidiscs I've recorded which are usually based around an album but sometimes quite loosely. But sometimes I will listen to individual tracks if I have an urge to hear one. Or sometimes I'll listen to music on shuffle/random.
I'd say that I'm listening to an album, or a minidisc loosely based on an album probably about 70 % of my listening time.

I do both. I listen to albums so I get a grasp of all of the content. Then I would either listen to individual tracks or listen to the albums over and over and over again. 1 LP studio albums are not that long really.

I'm an album listener especially for prog and related prog
Need to be quiet to get an optimal appréciation of the music When short of time or busy my lap top is in ' random' mode |
