But on a CD of 10 odd songs, there are only going to be about 3 or 4 that 
you will like enough to listen to regularly.  But, assuming you don't buy 
CD singles for songs you don't like, you are bound to like (and listen 
to) much more than half of all of your CD single songs.  Therefore, full 
CDs end up being no better of a deal than CD singles.
