    I kid you not, I have a friend I'm about to send this video to because they don't understand the difference! Having said that, I'm a proud RT85 owner.

      They just said there is no difference, so your friend is right.

    album is six or more songs with a total running time of 30 minutes
    or more and in digging into spotify's information spotify seems to simply say
    that an ep is up to six songs in less than 30 minutes 44
    or more and in digging into spotify's information spotify seems to simply say
    that an ep is up to six songs in less than 30 minutes
    and an album is six or more songs at more than 30 minutes the main bullet point is if you have over 30 minutes of run time and six or
    more songs it's an album less than that it's an ep does album 💿 sequencing change when you’re doing an ep or album 💿 and why does the runtime aka duration change jonathan for it has to count as a studio record in your knowledge why studio album 💿 has to be more than 6 or 7 tracks and more than 30 minutes to count as a record? album is six or more songs with a total running time of 30 minutes

And Can you please 🙏 make a RUclips tutorial on does album 💿 sequencing change and also make a RUclips tutorial on more than 6 or 7 tracks and more than 30 minutes to consider a record aka studio album 💿? My album 💿 monster by r.e.m is actually about 49:05 and it has about 12 tracks and it has above 6 tracks aka above 7 tracks does it count as a studio album 💿? And why are album 💿 are viewed as one big story?

    It is a cohesive collection of songs used to tell a bigger theme or project an overall vibe. Think of an album as a book. And your songs as chapters. Every book has chapters. Every album has songs. Each chapter is different. Each song is different. But the collection of chapters (the collection of songs) is what tells the full story of the book (of the album). Usually the songs on an album are the result of an artist's creations during a season of life. This means the songs can all speak to a similar set of themes, ideas and topics. So the aim of an album name is to try and sum up the big story/concept that all the songs pull from when they were written. It's not always like these, especially today. But traditionally, an album is like a "book" with the songs inside being like "chapters." Fun stuff! (I think 🤓) is that true jonathan why are studio album 💿 are viewed as one big story and does studio records count to have 6 or more songs aka 7 or more songs and more than 30 minutes to count as a record example monster by r.e.m. has about 12 tracks and it has about 49:05 aka 48:38? Do they count as a studio record even though it is pass 30 minutes and more than 6 or 7 tracks what’s your opinion about it?

    How does it work out that I have a 12" EP running at 33 1/3 with one song per side? Are the grooves bigger or what? The runtime is super short compared to an LP, but it runs at the same speed and the same size on each side...

    • @FluanceSpeakers

      Great question! It's the design of the grooves, fewer grooves are needed which causes the stylus to track towards the center of the record more quickly but the song is cut into the vinyl in a way that it's the correct playback speed.

    Is a 45 RPM 12" meant to disguise an EP as an LP, in a sense?

      From what I understand, the 12 inch vinyl record running at 45 RPM was for dance music since it allowed for longer playing time than a 45.
      Concerning EP vs LP, I thought that an EP was a 10 inch record playing at either 45 or 33 1/3 RPM and it would sit between the 45 and the LP.

    Extended play is a different story but a single as longplay album.

    To me, an EP should have about 5-7 songs. Only a CD maxi/Cassette maxi or a 12 inch vinyl should have 3 songs on it.

    So no difference, then why make a video saying there is no difference. Pointless video.
