[IxDA Discuss] Navigation labeling in an industry shift
Hi, I'm working on a music website for music fans here in Argentina and I'm having doubt labeling a navigation item. Music records in my country are commonly known as Discos which means Discs, in a direct reference to vinyl and CDs. The issue is that now several groups are releasing their music in mp3, only trhough a website, on cellphones, etc... The website still reviews this releases, but i don't feel comfortable keeping the old label. The problem is that there is no agreed label for these. The website is not very big, so audience from it will probably read other websites and magazines, most of them refuse to review anything that isnt printed on a cd. So i wanted to know if anyone ever found themselves in a similar situation and could mention what they've done or suggest an approach. regards, Nicolas Cohen RANLOGIC BA +(54 11) 4855 9371 http://cubetto.com.ar http://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolascohentarica Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Navigation labeling in an industry shift
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?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Navigation labeling in an industry shift
When designing digital mobile music products I have used the terms 'Tracks' and 'Albums' to refer to single tracks released grouped tracks. Not sure how that translated to Argentina, but it has work well for all languages cultures I've designed for (for example English, Italian, Austrian, Swedish). Can't help on getting reviews though.
