WHAT DOES ALBUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ALBUM - Definition and synonyms of album in the English dictionary (22)

Album

An album is a musical recording originally in gramophone or vinyl format, then in other formats such as Compact Cassette, Compact disc, and increasingly in digital formats such as MP3, AAC, ALAC, or FLAC. Audio albums in physical form are often provided with decorative covers and liner notes and inserts about the music and recording, giving background information and analysis of the recording, lyrics and librettos, images of the performers, and other images and text, as well as thanking contributors. When supplied with compact discs they are known as CD booklets. Historically, the term "album" came from a collection of some form, and in musical usage the word was used for collections of short pieces of printed music from the early nineteenth century. Later, collections of related 78rpm records were bundled in book-like albums. When long-playing records were introduced, a collection of pieces on a single record was called an album; the word was extended to other recording media such as compact disc, MiniDisc, Compact audio cassette, and digital or MP3 albums, as they were introduced.

Definition of album in the English dictionary
