I don't listen to complete albums either. Out of my 5GB of mp3s, I can pretty clearly identify 1.5GB as my "favorites" that I'd like to listen to, regularly.
I also make 14 hour drives down to Southern California, fairly regularly.
And I think that flash memory mp3 players are definitely a better technology than hard drive based players, like those iPods.
Put it all together, and this summer I'm going to be getting my first mp3 player, that I've been waiting years for -- a 2GB flash, solid state version. It should have enough battery life to last me an entire one way trip, with a different song the whole way. Then I'm going to have to mod my car stereo to make everything convenient -- with an appropriate power jack, maybe, and an input jack (which it doesn't have).
