For most relatively popular music, song order is unimportant. Many songs are meant to deliver their dose of catchiness in three or four minutes, and that's all. They can be listened to outside the framework of an album because they're designed that way.
Some music, as was mentioned earlier, does benefit from being part of a greater picture.
Honestly though, after looking at popular music, environmental concerns, the simplicity of buying from your home, etc. it seems that purchasing MP3 files will become the norm.
