I won't say Cds killed albums as a whole work of art. The reverse was the case for me.

I started playing vinyl records while growing and still spin full sides when I could. However, when Cds came out, I began listening to more albums straight through without flipping anything. I had great times with Pink Floyd's albums.

I understand that some people skip tracks, even my friends do the same, but I don't do such when I am playing an album that is surely worth my time. I play it from start till finish.
