I’m not currently in this position, but if I were, I’d have a dilemma. Suppose you were given a $25 iTunes gift card for one reason or another: would you hunt for 25 individual songs or buy a couple of albums by your favorite artist(s)?

I have three different songs titled “America,” one sung by Chita Rivera (from West Side Story, 1957), one sung by Neil Diamond, and one sung by Simon and Garfunkel. There are three different songs with “Ballad” in the title: “Ballad of a Thin Man” by Bob Dylan, “The Ballad of John and Yoko” by The …
