In this video, I discuss the difference between albums, ep's, singles, and mixtapes, and how to decide which option is best for you. I have included a link to a great podcast by cdbaby which covers the topic more in depth. I hope the information helps you in your own songwriting journey.

If you've been waiting patiently and even doubting that it would ever happen, wait and doubt no more. The promised EP is finally out... nearly a year and a half late but it's done. Thanks for the patience and all the positive feedback on the video. Once I get my nights back and my little guy starts sleeping well, I'll be back to posting new and regular content. Till then enjoy the music and let me know if you dig it. Link is in the description. Love you guys. -BA

There's a breakdown to a singles...
Promotional Single (PRO CDS) - TRADITIONALLY Is the lead single from an upcoming body of work (LP, EP, Soundtrack or Compilation Album). Multiple singles can be lifted from a body of work to promote the album. Promo Singles are sent to radio stations and DJ's for promotional play through radio or nightclubs. Promotional Singles often carry the radio formatted version (aka Radio Edit), if the radio formatted version is different from the LP Version, it will often contain the LP Version as the second track, and the third track is typically an Instrumental (no vocals). Sometimes, depending on the genre of music, the "Acapella" version is included on the pressing of a PRO CDS. These formats are not for sale to the public.
Commercial Single (CDS) - TRADITIONALLY is an individual song taken from a body of work (LP, EP, Soundtrack or Compilation Album). Prior to the Digital Era a CDS was the commercial release of a PROCDS. A commercial single (depending on the region of the world you're in) contained the radio formatted version of the single (or the LP Version) and either one or two B-side's that are not included on the album. Three tracks is the max for a CDS, anymore than three, it becomes a CDM.
Commercial Maxi Single (CDM) - TRADITIONALLY is an individual song containing multiple versions of the main track on the radio. A CDM is over four tracks, and usually contains alternative mixes of the title song (aka the club mixes).
Extended Play Record (EP) - Is a body of work that runs 24 minutes (or contains four tracks that are not alternative versions of one song - see CDM).
Long Play Record (LP) - is a body of work that traditionally ran 23 minutes, but was expanded to 30 minutes (standard) when vinylys were able to contain more tracks. LP's can be eight to nine tracks depending on the length of a song - as long as it meets the 30 minute mark (or more) it qualifies as a full length LP and not an EP.
Mixtapes - Originally "Demo/Work In Progress Album" is a body of music containing the main tracks intended for the commercial release of an album. These "WIP Albums" often contain alternative mixes for the Label Executives to determine which version would be most appropriate for the commercial release. As times evolved, demo albums started to morph into mixtapes. Mixtapes are often used (like he said) within the Urban community. They were often used as fillers by an artists when they were in between labels. As times have changed, mixtapes have become their own "thing" away from a Work In Progress album. However Mixtapes are known to contain songs that make final cuts to new albums, but the version on the mixtape will either be a demo version, while the commercial version might be more cleaned up for release.
Wow, thanks for the informative input man. Some gold here. -BA

Thanks
You explained this crystal clear. I want to make my own music and didn't know what to start with, a single, an album or an EP. I also didn't really understand an EP and you explained it for me, thank you. I think I'll take your advice by doing maybe 2 or 3 singles over a few weeks time and then drop an EP. And in the future an album. So again THANK YOU!!! I'm also going to check out more of your videos for more advice, tips and tricks.
Amazing video! And I'm definitely cheking out your EP. You absolutely deserve way more subs!!
Very good teacher. Looking forward to your EP!
That makes perfect sense I’ve seen albums that are 57 minutes and 46 minutes and I’ve seen albums that are 1 hour long but it does count as a lp stands for long play or length play.
So, they’re basically all albums
How?
Big brain time
No.
🤣😝😆no broooo😐
They’re not all albums 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Thank you I'm working on my EP this year.
great video cant wait for the EP!! keep up the grind!!
I would release a couple of mixtape to get some buzz and build a fan base, then release my debut single and see how that does. Then put out a debut EP and see how well it does, if my mixtapes, single and EP do very well, i'll release my debut LP (If I was a rapper starting, thats what I would do)
Thats one way to do it for sure. Test the waters so to speak. Thanks for the feedback. -BA
Thats alright, also how many songs can you have on a mixtape? :-)
I skipped the mixtape lol I just jumped into an EP. My first 2 singles ever r doing decent I suppose..
Grant Moore yeah I agree. I’m planning on 5 eps before my debut mixtape called my name is Damo
I have a vinyl album-The Best Of Bing Crosby-Sides 1 & 2 both have 10 songs! 20 songs! Probably over 40 minutes long! Still have it, and occasionally play it! 😊
Great info. This channel is going to Blow
I like how you had a character and voice for each type of release.

May 18thhh wasssup twin💯💯💯 aye I’m a young artist from North Carolina the name Jit Miestro I stumble upon your video cause I was looking for clarity on the difference between the bodies of work I can release as a musician. Thanks for helping me out, you make me wanna drop an ep on our birthday as well!!!!! 💯
Thank you
Great vid!
Thanks bro i just started
Thanks for the bonus
Thanks for giving me this information
Just subscribed 💯
You're welcome, thanks for watching -BA
Straight to the point thank you I noticed Digital Platforms Will format your content to Single, album and Ep.. I recently dropped a Ep in June with 7 tracks but they qualified it as an album even tho I wrote Ep on my cover .
Yes, depending on which one you use, they all have varying taxonomy styles. It can be frustrating at times. -BA
My Nigeria guy Afolabi
You are great
It makes sense that a album or lp is a collection of music 🎼 🎶 🎵 that is longer than a single or a ep and album could also mean collection of recordings by a artist issued as a single idem or issued as a collection on cd 💿 vinyl or cassette tape and that’s why I love 💗 💕 ❤️ album 💿 so much and runtime music 🎼 🎶 🎵 starts at 0:00 and it ends when the audio is finished and the audio has been officially completed and I think 🤔 that you should do a RUclips video that explains runtime and why runtime is so important on album 💿 and why that every song 🎵 🎧 🎶 should be on runtime and that’s my theory on music 🎼 🎶 🎵.
Some people are just talented explaining things 👏
Good information
Great explanation
You explained this very well cause I been wondering
Thanks for the comment. Glad it helped. -BA

Bori Afolabi ok
Damn this channel needs to get bigger
This was very informative thank you i subbed you
Glad to hear you found it useful. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching. -BA
Bro thank you so much man.I couldn't find a clear definition such as yours for the life of me.I'm waiting for your new EP.
I'd love to know where I could find it.I'm releasing my own Mixtape
The Khan Tapez this year in 2018.
If you wanna listen to it check out on my Soundcloud @GREAT KHAN ROBOTIK.I truly wish you well in your music.Piece bro.
Thanks for watching. Glad you found the info useful. Sadly I failed to deliver on my ep promise as my new born son at the time had some health issue which have kept us up nightly. My studio hours for creativity were shut down...temporarily. I actually finished it and just needed to mix and master it so I do plan to drop it in the near future. Anyway, best of luck on your own release. Keep at it. -BA
Thanks for the info! You got a new subbie! 🙌❤
Glad you found it! -BA
Thanks 😘
Thankssss for the VIDEO!!! Is that your studio?
So, thank you for what you do. I just discovered this channel and the content is so helpful. I definately am a big supporter of songwriters getting attention. This has given me some food for thought in terms of direction for 2018. I would love it if you could check out Closer and tell me what you think?
happy to hear you find the content useful Keep up the good work and thanks for watching -BA
what's the exact difference between live, studio and video albums?
Thank you soooooo much
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching. Hope you found it useful. -BA
I’d release a mixtape or an EP to get some buzz. and then my debut single and see if it’ll blow, and make new material for my album
I’m your 700th sub for this helpful video
