EP is a music collection publication with fewer songs than album and more singles

MCD/EP

that is, a mini album, which usually has 3-7 songs (of course, there may be more) and the time is relatively short, usually about 15-2 minutes. It's a less formal album. The band has several mature works that need to be released in time, but it's not enough for a big album, so it's probably just to earn some extra money. Its price is between single and album. In order to make the compact disc more attractive, the band sometimes puts some rare songs on the compact disc, such as live or cover songs. As a rock band, the album is indispensable, and the compact disc is dispensable. In the era of bakelite records, this compact disc was called EP, and now it is of course called MCD.

This is quite relevant.

SP EP LP discs are related to the history of recording technology and record history.

There is no way to make it clear simply. Looking for some books with relevant contents can answer all the questions related to record technology.

However, the EP and album mentioned now are no longer the concept of the era of dense records.

Single is still called a single, and EP is roughly equivalent to the era of compact disc

, because the recording standards are different and the rotating speeds are different, the sound quality of various turntables is also different

EP with p>45 rpm is much better than LP with 1/3 rpm, and I have never heard of SP with 78 rpm before, so it is estimated that the quality will be ...

Actually, just think about it briefly, 78 rpm. So Standard Playing

is also called Single Playing. Now many Single records have two songs. Why does a single have two songs?

It is the tradition of one song on one side in the dense grain era (in fact, it can't be said that the dense grain era has passed now, and the sound quality of vinyl records

is definitely better than that of laser records with poor motherboards, and the specific problem is considered as a science in recording technology)

In EP technology, about 3 songs can be recorded on both sides of a single album, and in LP, there are five songs on one side, which takes a total of ***6 minutes.

After digitization, vinyl is replaced by CD, which is a compressed concept. Ordinary LP recording time of 8 or 9 minutes

can be compressed on one side of CD. No matter Single, EP and LP, they are all solved by a piece of plastic film

, so the concept of Single EP has evolved from the definition of recording technology to the definition of record distribution

Singers in Japan and Europe and the United States are used to sending single. If someone buys their records, they will do it one by one.

It's almost time, so they will send an Album together. If there are not many songs, they will be sent as EP.

LP is the main music industry in Hong Kong. Generally, they don't have Single music, but there are smaller discs, EP, and

common LP and album. However, now many EPs are also made in the big market, such as Dawn EP and Leslie Cheung's

EP. The record process in Hong Kong is to use the single to hit the charts first, and then prepare the whole album, and then sell < P > while using the relay lead and the third lead to send channels for publicity. Joey Yung's first EP was like this, and all five songs were cooked < P >. When a new singer or a singer has no time to prepare a big album, the singer will release an EP, which is not the same as a concept album.

Some music critics confuse themselves, although there are relatively few commercial things because of the lack of songs, and the overall structure is obvious. There are indeed many concept albums in the form of EP.

There is actually a standard to distinguish EP LP from singles in Hong Kong, but it seems to be the standard set by IFPI. I can't remember the details.

I won't say anything about those released with large albums and small albums. Even if they are all large albums, those with less than 6 tracks and a total time of less than 3 minutes

are called EP, and the total number of tracks is less than 4, and the total time is less than 15 minutes. It is not used as the IFPI standard

to count the sales volume. In order to achieve this, many companies have learned to make track. I remember that there was a dispute about the

EP of EEG in Ye Peiwen.

what about p>Single, two track, less than 12 minutes? Roughly, I can't remember

So, faye fans, here comes a question about your idol

Eyes on Me. In the Japanese version, the track of Red Bean is actually bonus, and the third track is an instrumental version

, so it is a very standard Single.

But in the Hong Kong version, Red Bean has become a formal track, and the total time is enough. Therefore, even if this record is EP

IP-network address, you seem to say your house number, which is the most appropriate metaphor.

IP is the abbreviation of English Internet Protocol, which means "protocol for interconnection between networks", that is, a protocol designed for computer networks to communicate with each other. There is also a very important content in the IP protocol, that is, every computer and other equipment on the Internet is provided with a unique address called "IP address". Because of this unique address, users can efficiently and conveniently select their desired objects from thousands of computers in Qian Qian when operating on networked computers.

IP protocol requires all network nodes participating in the Internet to have an address in a uniform format, which is called IP address for short. On the Internet, every network and every computer is assigned an IP address, which is unique in the whole Internet network. An IP address is a communication address for global identification. This 32-bit universal address format must be adopted for communication on the Internet, so as to ensure that the Internet will become an open and interconnected data communication system to the whole world. It is a globally recognized computer network identification method. IP addresses can be expressed in binary format and decimal format.

to put it simply, it's a bit like the house number of your home address. It's unique, right?

When you walk freely on the Internet, you always have to give you a number to distinguish yourself. This is the IP address.
