Process is important. If we don't invest in an activity, it becomes worthless to us. This is well understood. Thus, ceremony and ritual in so many cultures. Making tea, greeting a guest and offering them a drink, taking a casserole to the church picnic.
Modern music is a click away. And dismissing it for the next track is another click away. Folks have confused the activity (listening) with the instant-gratification/enjoyment of the music. Both are important. Else the music just becomes so much cotton-candy sugar to our senses. Instead of an experience.

Don't get me wrong, I completely agree. It just came out of left field for the author and was stated in such a way that it was an attempt to become someone, instead of harbor a general interest in old analog and physical music curation ways.
