I'm grudgingly going to have to admit that most of my listening is done on my laptop with headphones. So downloads or streams are simply practical.
Although I do prefer the pleasure of having lots of friends listening to a CD on a stereo, that kind of communal listening experience is sadly a thing of the past I think. No one I know wants, or has the time to, sit in a room playing an album through.

and thats sad! i think.
they are albums out there, they have to be listen in full-length, for example kyuss (sky valley, circus) or slayers 'reign in blood' - cult of luna 'eternal kingdom' - metallica 'master of puppets' i don't skip any song on those albums and i hate it to hear only one song!

They're only little in-ear things, but they're OK. Not as good as your state-of-the-art beige things.
My only point was quality need not be disregarded simply because the source is your laptop, so long as the headphones are somewhat decent.
Of course not. I guess my point is not that the music is lacking but the trend of communal listening is not there like it used to be. All this phone / headphone / download stuff has meant that music listening has become a bit more private. If you're having a barbeque and suggest putting a CD on you kind of get funny looks... sometimes.

We usually have music on at the barbecues I go to. Well, not the family ones, but the friends ones.

We're having a barbeque at the weekend. I hope for this.

A group of about a dozen of us went camping last month. I think we had music playing from a little CD player like 90% of the time.

'Eternal Kingdom' is amazing.
