I do appreciate a good album. But to be honest I'm not hung up on "owning" an album. It is just a copy of the music. I'd rather be able to listen to as much as a I can because there is so much good music out there. This is more feasible with digital downloads.
I think part of this may come from my music interests. I listen to a great deal of electronic music. It is mostly single and EP based. There aren't a lot of albums. And even with they are albums sometimes those albums are just collections of singles. Hearing a mix, where common aspects of many different songs from many different artists are woven together, is more exciting to me.
All media - newspapers, music, magazines, books, movies, etc are radically changing because of technology. It'll take some getting used to. Things are just beginning to change. I think it'll be many years before CDs and/or albums disappear.
