I think there's more to it than that. You say 16 songs; is that 16 of your
choosing, or the 16 (2 good; 14 crap) that are the average these days on a
retail CD? :-)
If I get to choose my own combination of which 16 songs, they may come
from many CDs, and then the math above (and the comparison) becomes
invalid).
