in that case, shouldn't it rather be "digital data"?

as the medium would be your local hard disk?
2009-05-16 13607, 2009
navap
Why do you say that?
2009-05-16 13615, 2009
v6lur
(or the one(s) at the server)
2009-05-16 13650, 2009
v6lur
cause i'm translating picard and battling with finding a suitable translation for it
2009-05-16 13651, 2009
luks
does it matter if it's your hard disk or itunes store?
2009-05-16 13603, 2009
v6lur
not really
2009-05-16 13606, 2009
navap
So what would a CD be following that logic? Would it not also be digital data?
2009-05-16 13609, 2009
v6lur
that's my point
2009-05-16 13619, 2009
v6lur
hmm
2009-05-16 13649, 2009
v6lur
but on CD, there shouldn't be anything but that album
2009-05-16 13659, 2009
luks
but it's digital :)
2009-05-16 13613, 2009
v6lur
true
2009-05-16 13614, 2009
luks
the term "Digital Media" is wrong anyway
2009-05-16 13618, 2009
luks
but there is no good term
2009-05-16 13621, 2009
luks
so we just use it
2009-05-16 13626, 2009

v6lur: in /mnt/music/some artist/some album/ there is also only 'that album'.
2009-05-16 13628, 2009

I think "Digital Media" is an established format, I don't really think it needs to be changed as most people understand the difference between a "CD" release format and a "Digital" one.
2009-05-16 13627, 2009
navap
If you have a USB stick album, and your choices are "CD" or "Digital Media", I think it's pretty obvious :)
2009-05-16 13647, 2009
luks
I think USB stick would be Other
2009-05-16 13654, 2009
navap
Really?
2009-05-16 13621, 2009
navap
I guess, it's not really a digital download from AMazon and the like.
2009-05-16 13624, 2009
luks
from what I understand, we only use Digital Media for music with no physical medium
2009-05-16 13603, 2009
v6lur
luks: i understood it that way too
2009-05-16 13607, 2009
warp
ah, I did indeed use Other for the only USB release I have.
2009-05-16 13613, 2009
luks
but this Danger Mouse will be complicated too :)
2009-05-16 13620, 2009
luks
is it CD or Digital Media? :)
2009-05-16 13631, 2009
luks
er, +album
2009-05-16 13603, 2009
navap doesn't have any USB releases, so hasn't needed to think about it too much :p
2009-05-16 13632, 2009
warp
luks: if it leaks onto the internet as cue/flac then I might be tempted to use CD. otherwise i would go for Digital Media.
2009-05-16 13610, 2009
v6lur
warp: one could burn it onto a CD and then rip it into cue/flac :)
2009-05-16 13617, 2009
v6lur
anyway
2009-05-16 13619, 2009
v6lur
so in translation, the "media" in "digital media" is allowed to get lost? :)
2009-05-16 13654, 2009
warp
v6lur: depends on the language I guess. i would retain it when translating to dutch or frisian.
2009-05-16 13607, 2009
v6lur
given the result is not confusing
2009-05-16 13647, 2009
v6lur
warp: ok
2009-05-16 13611, 2009
v6lur
any counterarguments? :)
2009-05-16 13631, 2009
v6lur
ermm... isn't "digital media" in MB context just "audio file"? or would that be oversimplified?
