Agreed. Even the way that a service like Spotify organizes its application seems to be based around the song rather than the album. I tend to listen to entire albums still, so years ago I hit a saved music maximum in Spotify because they limit the amount of songs you can have in your collection. These days I usually have to go through my saved music collection and un-save random albums just to add more in to download for offline play.

As a teenager in the 90s I started buying vinyl because it was cheap and browsing a local record store was the best way to discover music, mainly jazz and hip hop. I'd spend hours a day just listening to albums from start to finish, reading liner notes, doing nothing else. A couple decades later and I still discover most of my music the same way. Spotify's Discover Weekly often is good, but it never matches the random LP dug up that completely opens your mind to a style or form you've never run into before.
