@stuartl @KydiaMusic So "DVD" just meant movie to him. A collection of songs is called an "album" because, in the 78 rpm days, you could fit one song on each side of a disk, and a group of songs to be considered as a common work would be sold in an "album" of disks, much like a photo album. It amuses (and, okay, annoys) me that this is the usage that survived the transition to digital files, while "record" (literally just the result of recording) is understood to mean "vinyl disk."
