And what about printouts of soundwaves inserted into a blank booklet that one could save for the future? Would that be an album?

I guess the difference is how high the barrier to entry is. In the 70s you needed a lot of cash or record company backing, now anyone can do it. However the high barrier to entry in the past didn't stop plenty of **** music coming out.

Buckethead is an interesting case - putting out an album every day at one point. He prefers not to call them albums, using the term 'pike'. And lots of people put out something every couple of weeks. I have no qualms about the medium of internet only releases, but I do think many of these people over release. Why not record just as much stuff at home, then release only their best of their best once a year or so?

Too convenient for anyone to download a bunch of samples, some cheap recording software, and then cobble together a bunch of stuff into a dozen songs on a site like bandcamp and then announce "I just released my new album".

Great for the ego, not so great for the legacy of real albums.

IMO.

YMMV.
No we don't. An album is just a collection of things, like a photo-album. Should we stop call photo-albums "albums" cause it confuses the **** out of you?

Do digital albums have a b-side?

Bands these days record their music in a studio.....a studio!!!! and put it on a vinyl record to sell it. They don't use notation paper it and publish it like we used to back in the day, what is this world coming to?
