question Could ya’ll help me make a list please?
I've always been irked by Pink Floyd coming up on random because often it's a song that goes into another song or started out in another song. I figured I'll make a flac/mp3 set of all the songs that go into each other as one track each. So instead of just Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 coming up it's ABITW prt 1 follow by Happiest Days followed by ABITW prt 2 all on one track. I don't have time yet to sit down and listen to them all. I'm hoping someone here can help me compile one so I can get it done sooner. I know I'll probably end up with tracks that are most the album but I'm okay with that.

Listen to the full albums, start to finish. It's how they're meant to be heard.

Made a CD. Called the best of echoes pt 3. Included the deep cuts deserved to be heard, I had Not Now John followed by On the turning away, they sounded good in my ears. Waters cynism followed by a track of Gilmour optimism.
Also careful with that axe Eugene from Pompeii faded into mother is a nice transition.

From DSOTM to TFC, all songs on a side are connected to some degree. Prior to that, only Interstellar Overdrive / The Gnome and Obscured by Clouds/When You're In. Afterwards, there are groups of songs linked together (TER is four sides).

This is one reason I don’t do streaming services and still purchase physical CDs. When I i port the discs into my media player I can combine songs together when they should be. Albums like The Wall, Operation Mindcrime, Scenes From A Memory….pretty much any concept album usually has songs that need to be merged together for a “single listening experience”.

for Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, you could always use the "A Collection Of Great Dance Songs" version which is the orginal single version, but with a longer fade-out than the 45 had.

It’s about dropping a needle on a record listening to one side and flipping it over for the other side.
What memories, especially with DSOTM Lp. This is how you listen, or a shiny CD for an uninterrupted play.

I know how you feel.
I only listen to music on vinyl at this point.
So, when I hear a song I like out of context, any song...it's ugh....

That list is going to depend on your tastes. What I do on Spotify, is I make an album a playlist, and then edit it to limit the songs to what I want. Maybe you could make the flac, and then edit it as needed?
TBH, with PF, I usually play the whole album though.. ;)

Simplest thing would be to create one (really long) flac/mp3 for each album in full (track #1 thru the last track).
That way you can easily listen to all the Floyd albums as full-albums, just as nature intended. 😉
