Yeah, me too. And I had some good times on the bus with my CDs as well, back in the pre-iPod Stone Age.
But I also usually just rip CD's onto my Mac, plop them into my iTunes library, and stick them on one of my iPod classics. I still listen to CDs, but only if the iPod is out of juice and I've forgotten the chord or something.
But even on my iPod, I'm an album guy. I have a couple playlists... One is called "The Inimitable Mr. West" and it's just all my Kanye albums. Another is called "Richard D. James" and it's just all my RDJ/AFX/Aphex Twin shit. Then there's "Kill your iPods" ... guess what that is? Yup. All my sonic youth albums and EP's.
No point in even having these playlists since I can just shuffle the artist's songs, but whatever. I rarely do anything other than listen to albums. I don't always start with track 1 and end with the last track, but I usually go through at least 6 or 7 consecutive album cuts before I move on to something else.
