Yes. My iTunes and Google Music databases are loaded with hundreds of albums. Again, I'm just trying to create debate. It's not a black and white thing at all.

Of course not: it's a computer folder with digital musical files in it, or for short, a CFDMF! :laughing:

Why?

Frowny, I'll stop leaning on my influences as soon as you put out something melodic, with no extraneous noise or dissonance.
I'd post 20ish songs here but you have a very low bar for what's considered dissonant, so I'll just post something that came out yesterday: https://jesusthecarpenter.bandcamp.com/track/kerensa-2 Anyways, probably not a good idea to base your own music off of an artist you don't like :crazy:.

Wanna try a song together?
No.

Great point.

But I still called them albums, and alternately CDs, usually to differentiate between the at the time slowly-growing digital part of my collection and the old analogue one.
That's really it right there. It's the content that makes it an album, not the physical form.

This right here. The idea of creating a class system for the medium in which stored on or projected on/with is ridiculous. It'd be like accrediting the wall in which a film is played on.

Yeah I agree with that. The physical medium is just a means to an end. In order to test the idea, something where the content is tied to the physical medium might be statues and artful pottery. But the difference between those and music is that they are exactly about shaping a physical mass, music isn't.
