I like songs being available individually, because one knows whether one likes a song very quickly, and one might well want to have the ability to listen to it again and again.
But short stories are a different matter. I HATE buying individual short stories. I MUCH prefer to buy them bundled into a magazine or anthology. It take far too much time to identify interesting fiction to spend it selecting twelve short stories rather than one book of short stories.
Fictionwise has been selling individual short stories for ages. I hate them.
