"but it does alter the way you approach putting an album together."
Just a different mindset. We have become accustomed to the need for a collection of songs, but do we really need that? Do we remember Buddy Holly for his albums or for his songs?
The Harry Smith Anthology was a collection of commercially released '78s. I would say it is only the last 50 years or so that we became involved in the concept of albums. Perhaps going to a format where individual songs are more important to the listener is going to be a good thing.
