When I was younger, pre-mp3 days, I'd get a new CD and listen to it for at least a week straight. If I liked it, there was a good chance that I'd memorize it in its entirety, to the point where hearing the songs out of order (shuffle mode) would be jarring and strange. If you wanted to listen to something else you had to switch CDs. With digital music, skipping between songs, artists and playlists is so simple. Perhaps this is one contributing factor for some people's fondness for full length albums and other people's fondness of shorter music bursts?
tl;dr
Digital is convenient. I feel old.
