The new randomize feature in these "mp3 players" is nice, but some things you just don't like unless you hear the whole album.

I've went off about this concept before. I call them GFAs, or Great Fucking Albums. You know it's a GFA when you hear a song from it, and you immediately expect the next song on the album to play next.

Dude, just get yourself a patent because microshit gets it.

The GFA patent whereby the mp3 players shuffle function would recognize GFA and would play the songs in the appropriate order.

because = before

i just put the first one that came to mind. there are a lot of albums like that for me. i'm generally not a fan of shuffle/random but sometimes you can tell a band took particular care in track sequencing.

That's actually how I listen to all albums (in fact, I wrote my own Winamp plugin to do random-album-order but still play an album at a time :P). But there's a few which just plain work well in order. So.

hahah, sweet. I often do but some just have songs that are, well, stupid.

I see a lot of Pink Floyd on the answers! Amen to that. Although, one of my favorite uses of modern technology was to burn Dark Side Of The Moon WITHOUT the wretched track with the obnoxious stoned girl screaming. Much better that way.
