Newsflash. Many people entertain themselves with music. What makes you assume that people don't sit down with their favorite albums and listen to it's entirety including the nuances? Where do you think all of those Ipods went that have been sold? You're trying to impose your view of reality on others. I feel that magic everytime I hear a great song that reminds me of something good in my life.
I've listened to my Ipod nonstop for over 2 hours at a time. People do that with CD's also. They start a CD playlist and go about the business of cleaning the house, driving to work, fixing the car or just sitting back with a smoldering joint and/or a glass of red wine. They'll run to the player to roll back and repeat that part they just love, that sweet solo, that great bridge. They couldn't care less what Sony or some other record company or some engineer like me or the industry in general is doing or isn't doing. While someone is talking about how the industry is killing good music, they're enjoying good music distributed by that very industry.
We take ourselves and our industry way too seriously sometimes.
