However, I think you are missing a couple of key points: Compilation CDs don't sell simply because everyone has their own opinion. Artist CDs sell usually based on the artist's reputations, which is probably gained via people listening to the radio which is just another "shuffle" of songs. That's exactly what makes MP3s and their play lists so wonderful. I can create my own compilations, with or without though, AND/OR listen to entire albums.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-32268088009513165342010-06-20T14:31:13.452-04:002010-06-20T14:31:13.452-04:00Wow, so I'm an idie dork because I put time an...Wow, so I'm an idie dork because I put time and effort into making great playlists for myself?
