20. Actually album still works for a cd or even a file with multiple recordings

album |ˈalbəm|
noun
1 a blank book for the insertion of photographs, stamps, or pictures: the wedding pictures had pride of place in the family album.
2 a collection of recordings issued as a single item on CD, record, or another medium.

Now if you had said LP or EP or 45 or 78 those are anachronistic. Except I see some young people buying old and new vinyl albums. What I really miss with LPs were the cover art and liner notes. Don't get much of that with CDs and none at all with online music. Sad, bigly Sad.
