You know, this whole argument is about as silly as my roommate getting upset
over letter-boxed movies on video/cable because as he says, "they're not
using the whole screen."
Get over the format and listen to the content. People buy CD singles all
the time and those are the same damn discs as a full length.
All you have to do is imagine CD's are of limitless length and then you'll
listen to the music and not get all hot and bothered about how long it is.
I think the Kraftwerk analogy is pretty decent. Those guys spent 2-3 years
on a 30-40min release. It's all about quality and not quantity. If you
want a bargain for your music then listen to the damn radio. It's free
after all.
