I started noticing something the other day that I had never thought about. I've been using a Zune for the past 2-3 years, and one of my main reasons for getting into the Zune was the Zune Marketplace subscription service. While I really enjoy the Zune subscription service, and while I certainly make full use out of it, I began to notice that I no longer give the same attention to certain CDs as I used to. It's as if my attention span for music has gone down the drain.
Two days ago, I purchased (yes purchased) two albums via Amazon.com on MP3 (My Brightest Diamond's "Bring Me the Workhorse" and St. Vincent's "Marry Me"). I'm finding myself spending more time with those albums than I probably would if I had been able to download them via Zune (they're not available on the ZunePass... you have to buy them).
Has anyone else noticed this effect with your music? I'm beginning to feel like I shouldn't have any album on my Zune that I'm not willing to pay at least 8-10 dollars for. If I'm not willing to pay for it, I probably don't appreciate it as much, and the stuff I would typically purchase gets pushed off into the background and is a victim of my attention-deficit listening style.
