Extended play
group of extended play releases by an artist usually released at the same time with the same title and tracks but in different formats for consumption (digital, CD, LP)
Extended play (EP) is a name given to CDs and records which contain more music than a single, but are too short to be called a music album.[1][2] EPs usually have about 15 to 30 minutes of music,[8] singles have less than 10 minutes and albums have about 25 to 80 minutes of music.[source?]
