Whats the deal with track lengths?

Many bands print the track length on the back of their cd covers. Whats the use of this? I have never bought an album based on this factor. Has anyone else? I mean, Whats the use of knowing that “The Boxer” is 5 minutes and 7 seconds on the Simon and Garfunkel greatest hits cd? What difference does it make it “Sweet Black Angel is 2:34 on the Stones Exile on Mainstreet album? Why does Ben Harper feel we need to know that Picture in a Frame is 4:37 on his Both Sides of the Gun album? Why do the Buzzcocks point out that “What ever happened to?” is 2:12 on the Singles going Steady cd? What difference does this make in the slightest? Does anyone here go to a CD store and look at the back of the albums and say “Oh, Marvin Gaye’s Whats Going On, on the album of the same name is only 4:00 I am not buying this record, then?”. I mean what the hell difference does it make?

you were still making tapes in 2002....no wonder you can't get laid. I was handing out CDR's in 1998.
dude I was making tapes for my girlfriend because she had a tape deck in her car, and if anything it helped me get laid
