I wouldn't say so. Although I listen to music as much as I can, now I've got some Steve Von Till playing. Out of habit? Not at all.

probably right. once it becomes easier to acquire the stuff than it is to find free time to really absorb it then you'll become a little more blase, I suppose.

but this doesn't affect people who actually like music..

He claims that the majority of tracks on portable MP3 players are in fact gathering virtual dust as music fans ignore the bulk of their collections to listen to a handful of their favourite songs.

I do that, I also use music as a background, but then again I tend to spend like an hour a day walking around just to listen to music. I also have a hard time focusing on only one thing at once without fidgeting

There are a lot of times I dload an album, play it once and then leave it to e-rot on my computer for months... then for whatever reason I buy the album and really listen to it, and end enjoying it a lot.

Same here. There are also times I buy a load of albums at once and forget about some of them. Then remember it later and realise it's awesome.

This article simply described your everyday music "fan," the radio crowd. They've existed for a long time now. There's no science involved.

Poor radio listeners don't even like the crap they used to enjoy.
