I can't decide if it's good or bad.
I'll say that I've also noticed myself spending less time on records that don't pull me in on the first listen.
On the other hand, it's allowed me to parse the cream from the crap, and discover buttloads of artists and bands I would have never otherwise heard. I think overall it has added to my breadth of knowledge, but I can absolutey empathize with what you're saying... I won't be spending much of my time with a record that didn't floor me on the first listen because I've got 200 hours of music I haven't gotten to yet.
But a record that grabs me is still cherished and played over and over again... so I guess that means I'm just listening to less crap, or stuff that I don't hold in that high of an esteem.
I dunno.
