EP is anything that is not classed by the artist as an album but fails to qualify as a single for the purposes of charting (in the UK anyway)

actually i have 4 but i'm not done with the 4th one, and i'm not considering it as professional music, all i have to work is a FL demo, but someday i'll just have it rearranged by someone who is qualified in the field. anyways thanks for the info BD

I consider an ep about half a full-lenght cd. But that's just me.

yeah, an EP is something between a single (1-3 songs) and an album (full-length), the sizes are quite subversive you know, there are no rules. EP7 is an ep, it's over 50 minutes. Clarence Park is called an album, yet it's just over 30 minutes long. No one to call it.

It hasn't got anything to do with the amount of songs. To me an EP is about 20-30 minutes long. When it's shorter it's a 12", when it's longer it's a full length. But that's just my personal opinion.

It must be less than 40 minutes long, in Europe anyway. Remember The Orb and "Blue Room". They challenged the limit for an EP with releasing this 40 minute one track record which was sold for the price of a single/EP but would be classified as an album had it been a minute longer. It's all about money you know...

Well, Warp charge the price of an album for the EP7 cd, dont they? So I guess my defenition is based on the rules for pricing records...

No it does not. EP7 is still an EP. And it's cheaper than an album here.
So is Clarence Park, by the way,

Anything falling outside the CD guidelines will be considered an EP.

this is AUD recycle, not american $ :) $20 is not very much at all... and $35 is kinda worth it for an LP.

ep= extended play. a term from back when singles were what got released, and albums were considered special occasions. it means an extended play single. a single usually at this time consisted of an a side and a b side.
so you'd have to say anythign 3 song or over, basically. but TIME is a factor as well.
if its way short, then its really not an ep.
timewise, you're looking at the 18-30ish mark.
