EP
extended play:
a phonograph record that is typically played at 45 rpm and contains more tracks than a single, but fewer tracks than an LP.
a short or half-length music album in any format, typically comprised of four to seven songs: called EP as an evolution of the traditional extended-play record, albums in other formats are not known by the underlying expanded form, and identified only by the abbreviation.
