On the format and media of record releases

We’ve had a confusing way of specifying the medium (physical, or virtual) and format (i.e. length) of a record release at dagensskiva.com. We have now restructured how this is represented, into two main components:

Formats:

  • album
  • single
  • ep
  • song
  • box
  • playlist

Media:

  • cd
  • 7”
  • 10”
  • 12”
  • mp3
  • aac
  • wma
  • myspace

In addition to this, we specify how mauy of the specified media constitutes the release, so that an album can be specified as, e.g. album (2×cd), song (mp3), box (10×12″), etc…

Did we miss anything?

    Det verkar som om inställningen för åtminstone Media tappas när man redigerar sidan (ersätts av ett x).
