For me, the ceremony in selecting an album, getting it set up, and the inconvenience of changing that choice and skipping songs, positively adds to the experience. Tape is similar. With digital, I find my mind is constantly thinking things like: what song should I pick next? am I bored with the song that's on? I tried using CDs in my car with a no skip rule, and was successful for a while, but I'm pretty much back to the old habits now, probably because it holds 6 CDs.
