    LP- Long Playing vinyl record
    EP- Extended play vinyl record.
    Basically LP could be considered a full-length album and EP is a half-album. Or at least that's what i think

      Album also have 7 or more songs and more than 25 minutes does that count?

    LP is a "record", EP is not an Album, an Album is an Album, so there is no difference between an LP and an Album? I think I know the answer - but there is no definition of an "LP" in this video... Just saying - you all are adorable btw - I'll make sure to subscribe

      In the video we're defining those terms by how they are used today by streaming music platforms - very different than how it works with physical formats.

    I think the "no matter how many tracks between 10-30 min is EP" is a bit misleading even considering stores have different rules, both of my current albums are less than 30 min but has more than 6 tracks, and has "album" status on Spotify and iTunes. Metadata or no, it's what's displayed on the stores that matters in my mind.

      You're right! I think I maybe confused things a little with my guesses in the video...

      @@Soundrop It’s true albums are book 📕 📖 📚. And it dosen’t matter if you say mini book or chapter book 📕 or full book 📕 but in general albums are book 📕. Chapters is a main division of a book, typically with a number or title and a book and a studio album both featured chapter and number and title and it lines up correctly it is a book 📕 📖 📚. And the way how it is detailed too.

    I’ve hear 👂 that a ep are called a album 💿 on feederanroak because ep has 3 to 6 tracks and people in the uk 🇬🇧 called ep a album because it’s a mini album and that’s what they are.

    Album 💿 has to be 7 or more tracks like the album this time around has 15 tracks while there is nothing left to lose have 11 or 12 tracks so I count a album 💿 is that a album must have 7 or more tracks and over 30 minutes like polythene is 46 minutes and 30 seconds which is true.
