Did you hear that new song from Kanye's recent release? I am sure you did but did you even hear the other songs from the album. A lot of people today just listen to the song they want on Spotify and then move on to another song. No one really ventures out to see what else that artist has released, unless they have a deep interest in what that artist says or how they sound. Everyone is on the go to hear, what they want to hear and stay in their "Music Zone."
When people grew up with vinyl records, they grew up with a sense of warmth and a piece of art that could not be replaced by laptops and tablets and iPhones. If you wanted to change the song on a vinyl record, you had to lift the needle from where it was currently located and try your best to put the needle at the point of what you wanted to hear. Sometimes you would hear cracks and crinkles from the needle, but that makes the whole Vinyl Experience worth going through the process of buying a record and buying a well-equipped stereo system. Records are the foundation of how music is heard. No matter how much you remaster a Beatles song, it will never be as good as the original press.
Google Music, Apple Music, Napster, and Spotify are the most convenient ways to listen to music because all you have to do is click on your favorite song and that is a more direct route to playing what you want to hear and not accidentally hear something new. God forbid someone hears "Whats Going On" by Marvin Gaye when they are trying to listen to a Motown playlist that is made up of mostly Jackson 5 songs.
The easier things get for people to access things, the harder it is for those people to accept change or an accidental chance to get out of their "Music Zone."
