Guest Masonic Boom Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Compact Disc. Extended Play. Long Player. What do any of these terms even mean any more, now that everything has gone digital? "A collection of tracks assembled in the artist's stated order and compressed into Moving Picture Experts Group Layer-3 Audio format" ^^^^you really want me to type that every time? Can't I just say "record" to mean recorded artefact of sound?
