Audiophile Priorities and Factory-Installed Car Audio System Comparisons

...
It takes both visual and auditory senses to fully take in video content, which makes it fundamentally different from audio. Also, most songs are 5 minutes long or less, while video content requires a longer time commitment. In addition, movies are also viewed in theaters, whereas recorded music is not consumed in that kind of a group environment. Just a lot of fundamental differences.

Pardon this aside, but I look at the 5 minute thing bemusedly as a Classical listener. The average length of a single movement of typical concerto or symphony (if there were such a thing) exceeds 5 minutes, and such a work typically has 3 - 5 movements. I guess listening to Classical has more similarity to watching videos than to popular music. Symphonies such as by Mahler or Bruckner are over an hour and choral works, e.g. Messiah, are often longer. Operas longer still although I prefer opera videos, so I come full circle.

Yep, that's why I deliberately said "most songs" because orchestral and operatic pieces are an obvious exception. This coming from someone who had Tchaikovsky's Pathetique symphony playing on the car stereo for last night's PM commute, and has sat through the considerable running times of many a Mahler performance.
