Odette Grille (X) (asker) Feb 28, 2007:
Merci à tous Oui, comme Sylvie l'explique, on utilise EP, mais en tant que traductrice, il me semble devoir utiliser l'expression la plus française, si elle est aussi en usage. C'est le problème des jargons et des choix que nous devons faire. Ainsi, je vais laissser lo-fi pour basse fidélité, car cette dernière expression ne s'emploie pas dans le milieu.

maxi 45 tours / maxi single

An EP (for extended play), is the name given to vinyl records which are too long to qualify as singles but too short to qualify as albums. Typically an album has eight or more tracks (anywhere between 40-60 minutes), a single only one or two (5-15 minutes), and an EP five to eight (or around 15-35 minutes.) Some artists, especially in the days of vinyl, have released full-length albums that could fit the definition of a modern-day EP. (See Yes's Close to the Edge and Prince's Dirty Mind as examples.) A remix single is not considered an EP unless it also has other songs on it (an EP/single hybrid). The name "extended play" has become something of a misnomer, for though it originally was used for singles that were extended beyond the standard length, it is now more often synonymous with an album that is shorter than usual; indeed EPs are sometimes referred to as "mini-albums" (see below). For this reason, among others, they are referred to as "EPs", the full name being used much more rarely.

"C'est en 1989, quand il intègre le batteur Al Sobrante que le groupe prend son nom définitif. La même année XXX réalise de façon indépendante son premier maxi single, '1000 Hours'. "

45 tours / singles

Although the literal meaning is indeed 'extended play', in actual fact, in the UK at least, the term 'EP' has for as long as I can remember been used loosely to mean ANY 7" single — the fact that they were double-length was forgotten long ago!

So unless there is anything specifially relevant about the playing time, I would just treat these as being any ordinary 'single'; it's really just EP = 45 rpm instead of LP = 33 rpm (the fact that they were microgroove / microsillon was likewise forgotten very early on)

Ep

Un EP (de l'anglais Extended Play), est le nom donné aux disques vinyles, et aux disques compacts qui sont trop longs pour être qualifiés de simple CD ou single mais trop courts pour être qualifiés d'album. En général, un album contient au moins huit plages (ou dure environ une heure) et un single contient deux ou trois plages, un EP contient environ quatre à huit plages.

Dans le milieu, on parle de EP, tout simplement, éventuellement "maxi", tout court...
