re: How often do you listen to a whole album as opposed to listening to a playlist?

I typically stream albums. That's the way it should be. A good album sets up songs in a certain order. Plus you grow to like songs that you'd probably skip through early in owning an album or just previewing on an online store.

Albums all day every day. I'm stuck in the ways of listening to an album at a time(although sometimes it takes multiple sessions to get through an album). When I was younger the only way to hear the deep cuts(Non singles) was to listen to the whole album. It's also the way the artist wants you to experience the music.

Full album play throughs for classic rock

I'm a pretty big Tom Petty fan, probably have 40 or so of his songs on my phone. Ever since his Sirius XM channel came out, I've heard a lot of live tracks. Bought his live anthology albums which is 4 albums made up of entirely live performances from 1976-2006. Tons of his hits, album tracks, and covers. The covers are amazing. I have put that album on and just let it go without skipping several times. I love it.

Most always full album.

I give equal time to both. But if I want to just play some good random music for a long jag, I went through and rated all my favorite songs and that way I just go to the "My Top Rated" playlist and it runs about 4 hours of that. It's more or less like listening to a radio station that plays nothing but songs I love.
