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

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

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

[@roshycherrysunti7693]

This explanation is more clear than then the video. Thank you. 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@jasonknotts2061]

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

[@Soundrop]

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. Thanks for subscribing!

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

@@Soundrop no problem 😌 soundrop.

[@skittigo2145]

Thanks! You guys get straight to the point no bullshit

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.

[@Soundrop]

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

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

@@Soundrop thank you ☺️ for the album 💿 definition.

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

@@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.

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

As shown on 0:36-0:46 you guys are my number 1 definition of what is a single,ep and a album.

[@Yw0210]

What if I have 9 songs (26min)!?, issa album or ep ’cause it’s still less than a 30min what yall said thats a minimium for an album.. but that’s more than 6 songs what should be a max length for a EP……..

Here to know what MOTS:7 LP album mean

[@Soundrop]

uhhhh

[@SirajulIslam-px3vb]

I'm am Army but still confused 💁

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

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.

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

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.

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

Hey soundrop does stereo world single or mini album because it’s below 👇 30 minutes and it’s a ep.

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

You mean under 30 minutes counts as a es while over 30 minutes it’s a album and can you please do a KZbin video the definition of runtime is?

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

Thank you for the difference for what;s the difference between single,ep,and album do you know what’s the difference between a a side and a b side is?

[@goodname6845]

Ok I needed to know because I wanted to make a album but didn’t know what the difference was
