Nonsense. If I want to hear a recording from beginning to end, I do. If I don't, I don't. I would skip around tracks on LPs, found cassettes a bit more irritating in that it was harder to skip tracks. Welcomed the cassette players that could skip tracks. Remember Mix Tapes? What people always want is choice.For you.
I'm making the case for why it's a feature, not a bug, for many of us.
As a radio DJ, I would have to go through the whole backtracking routine to cue up tracks on an LP. Guaranteed to accelerate record wear. CD? Select track, hit pause, hit play. I could do the same thing with my DAP, if I wanted to be a radio DJ again, which I don't.
A feature opens up additional, desirable, options. A bug is something that is harder to work around.
