Dominique Petitgand - 10 Petites Compositions Familiales		This is a discussion we've had on previous occasions, and I agree that a 3" record with as many tracks as this could fit the definitions of an album. There have also been instances of an "album" being split into two, or even three or four 3" discs, thus gaining an album's length of music or even more. However, since the CD singles category is the only place where one can enter 3-inches, this is where these would have to go.

But hey, wait a minute, there is something here which defies my sense of logic. Why then, should vinyl singles be defined by their format, but CD singles by their length or number of tracks? Shouldn't this random example from 45cat also be defined as an album using the same criteria? Furthermore, the Petitgand entry is part of a series (Cinéma Pour L'Oreille), where some of the records may contain only one track, while other has several short tracks. What could be gained by putting 2 CDs in the same series in two different categories?

My suggestion would be to leave the 3" singles where they are and adjust the option of adding more tracks than eight.

Dominique Petitgand - 10 Petites Compositions Familiales		This will also have to be moved. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this.

Dominique Petitgand - 10 Petites Compositions Familiales		Then this entry will also have to be moved, resulting in an in my opinion split-up of this 3" series. Furthermore, 3" is not an option in albums.

Dominique Petitgand - 10 Petites Compositions Familiales		A 3-inch CD, clocks in under 20 minutes and categorized as an album? I don’t think so.

Lost Trail - The Afternoon Vision		@Magic Marmalade...

Yes, I would agree that this is technically an album - but released on separate 3" discs. As 45worlds increases in volume, there will be more entries like this. To me, there is a simple solution to the problem: Make 3" an available format in the CD albums category. This should benefit your mental health - and mine. Since the CD album category is more flexible (i.e. you can add several discs, use SECTIONBREAK etc.), it would make discs like this much easier to add!
