Actually the 1-2 tracks thing comes from some music executives posting a recent article about the alarming drop-off in the music industry revenue. For myself, I would say that on average I really like about half the tracks on my cd's, but I am more into books than music so I do not really listen that much to music outside of my car.
It just annoys me to see iTunes given as such a shiny example of e-content success, when while undeniably relatively succesful it's just a sideshow for Apple to placate the music industry while selling tons of iPods (rememeber Rip, Mix, Burn??). But the operative word is relative, since the revenue generated by it is far away from compensating (and even forecasting to compensate) the steep drop off in cd-sales revenue.
