what do all of these mean? I know "LP" means a full album,.. but doesn't it stand for "long play" or something? and wasn't the term originally used for records? and "EP",.. that means extended play doesn't it? a dat is a little tape thingy,.. anyone care to give more information? could anyone tell me the quality/time allowed on the various different form of media,.. I'm sick of not being in the know,.. |

[ep definately stands for extended play, and im pretty sure lp is long play, which dont make sense beside each other, but then again, extended could be extended from anything...i like to think of it as an extended single; not a single, not a full-length, but closer to an extended single than a short lp. eps are usually up to 8 tracks, sometimes a 9 track cd will be an ep, and often a 4 or 5 track can be an ep too. however, there are plenty of lps that are only 10 tracks, and plenty of eps that, even if theyre only 8 or 9 tracks, are a full 72 minutes long or otherwise equivelant to the length of an lp time-wise. sometimes its just because the disc has 3 or 4 remixes that makes it an ep, and sometimes its completely arbitrary. [autechre's ep7? not an ep in my eyes. underworld's pearl's girl ep clocks in at almost 72 minutes. ] but...yea.] |

as far as i know ::praxis:: is right, but i believe it all comes down to what the label considers an ep or an lp. oh, and ::praxis::, do you listen to the band praxis? |

Here: EP- Is like inbetween a full album [which is LP] and a single. Like autechres EP7.. its not considered a Full album, but it has many tracks, unlike most EP's out there now. Its like something many people release before a full length album. Like I said, an EP is like inbetween a full album and a single. |

actually CDs can hold about 80 minutes, although the official limit is more like 75 minutes. |

[i think the standard time for cd length is 72 minutes...not to be overly precise. some go longer, there are extended length cds that a few artists have used when they have too much music for one 72min cd but not enough for 2 cds. i dont know what the advantages are to that or disadvantages....and i have no idea where the 72 comes from. i see cd-rs now though with 80 minutes and stuff....i dunno if thats because of innovation, because theyre different due to being recordable, or what....yea/] |
