And what of an album, or any piece of music over three minutes? Are they out the door too? Is Jazz and classical music, and any thematic work now obsolete because of the limitations of an MP3?? It's art. Art is not going to be constrained by user demand. Did Jazz shrivel itself up to three minutes crammed with hooks because that's what FM radio dictated?
OK. Lets look at the New MP3 players. Music sounds inferior on them compared to a CD which at 16 bit sounds inferior to the original master.
What you are proclaiming is the death of the album, which is not going to happen. If I want my songs heard ONLY in the context of an album, then I won't make track IDs if I have to. A single song is in NO WAY the truest expression of an artists work.
