Artists vs iTunes

[K9 Kai Niggemann]

I think it's ridiculous -- if the only way to legally get a track that  
I like is to buy the whole album, I probably won't get it legally.

what is an album? it's nowhere near a painting where you can't extract  
individual parts (and even there, sometimes you can). It is a  
collection of songs. Something that makes sense to the artist, but  
what if I only like one of their tracks? should they hate me for not  
buying the whole album or love me for loving their one hit single?

I think mostly I don't listen to hit-single-music anyway, but  
sometimes I need individual tracks for my theater work.

doesn't AOR stand for "Album-Oriented Rock"? or is it "Adult-..."?  
anyway, osome types of music just seem to work better on an album than  
as single tracks. The other way around for other music genres..

but I guess that's a matter of personal taste and opinion...,
