Hi Nicolas, I suppose that "Discos" in your native language is the equivalent term for what is called "Albums" in English. "Album" is somehow more disconnected from the notion of physical media (e.g. Compact Disc, LP record etc.) and has continued to be used in the digital world for a collection of music tracks. So is the issues that in your language "Discos" is more connected to physical media and less to digital media? Or is it that you are seeing artists releasing more and more individual tracks (sometimes in English the term "Singles" is used) rather than albums?
