When listening to music do you...

At home/in office: full albums or my Launchcast station or songs on computer

in vehicle: full albums or a myriad of CD-R mixes, many of which I make for my wife to keep her into music (her passions are literature-based and she doesn't delve deeply into music on her own. Appreciates me doing it for her, though)

most recent example, one called Fluffy Anarchists.

Track list:
Morphine - Lisa
Chumbawamba - Give The Anarchist A Cigarette
Donald Fagen - New Frontier
Half Man Half Biscuit - We Built This Village On A Trad. Arr. Tune
High Llamas - Literature Is Fluff
Laurie Anderson - Sharkey's Day
The Bad Plus - Frog And Toad
The Feelies - Loveless Love
The Lilac Time - Dance Out Of The Shadows
Belle & Sebastian - Sleep The Clock Around
Beulah - If We Can Land A Man On The Moon, Surely I Can Win Your Heart
Half Man Half Biscuit - Depressed Beyond Tablets
Kate Bush - Sunset
Deacon Blue - Dignity
Pernice Brothers - Snow
David Gilmour - You Know I'm Right
Plasticland - Posing For Pictures
Camper Van Beethoven - Jacky Ruby
Felt - A Wave Crashed On Rocks

Have several stacks of mixes in the car and truck. Listen to those a lot. Don't have an ipod.

Albums. Invariably. Sometimes I'll get stuck on songs, but I will eventually finish the album.

My prime music listening is while commuting to/from work -- I listen to whole albums.

i've been on shuffle 90% of the time since loading up my new mp3 player this summer. i really want to get back to whole album listening...but it's just so tempting to have the world's greatest radio station playing commercial free all the time.

lately though, here at work...i've been going back to full (2005) albums before finalizing my shmoo list.

shuffle until a great song comes on and then i'll listen to the rest of that album until i get bored. that happened with sigur ros and wolf parade this morning

when I'm at the computer I usually shuffle or hunt and peck, and on the road, I like listening to whole albums.

yup me too. except i got bored with going through full albums in the car, because i'll crave hearing that one song that makes my day when stuck in traffic.

usually at work: shuffle. i have a bunch of random mp3's so it just shuffles around.

in car: shuffle... i have ADD with music sometimes, so i tend to not be able to listen to a whole album and it drives my friends CRAZY that i bounce around songs all the time.

at home: whole albums. it's when i usually get the full experience of listening to the album in its entirety.
