music as just mp3s
I definitely feel that the digital age is creating a transition in music to just focus on single songs/mp3s. Society has definitely shifted its mindset and demands access to what it desires instantaneously. This is unfortunate for musicians because people are more interested in single songs and the "one hit wonders" than they are in the entire album produced. I personally find that I lose certain songs in my library, so the songs significance to me has diminished because it's just a lost file in the computer.

I completely agree with you. Much of the problem comes from the fact that people now have access to the individual songs they want. Where once single songs would encourage consumers to buy the full albums that the artist produced, now people can simply buy the single song and the album goes largely unnoticed. A sad state of affairs indeed
