With the advent of online music purchasing (e.g. iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody) it has become far easier to buy only the songs you like from a particular artist rather than the entire album, enabling you to bypass the bad ones (which I call "dreck").
This is creating a phenomenon where CD sales are plummeting, but sales of "good" songs (or "hits", anyway) are rising on the online music retailer sites. Do you see albums going away, and artist releasing "mini-albums" or singles only, concentrating on a few "good" songs rather than working to put out an entire full-length CD? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
