   I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Vinyl, is in fact a Vinyl Record, or as I've recently taken to calling it, LP Record. A Vinyl is not an Musical Record unto itself, but rather the material used to record a full album made useful by a turntable, AC power and a speaker.
   
   Many music listeners use a sculpted version of this Vinyl every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, these music records on Vinyl Records which is widely used today is often called “Vinyl,” and many of its listeners are not aware that it is basically the Record, developed by Columbia Records. It really is made with Vinyl, and these people are using it, but it is just the material for the recording to be put on.
   
   Vinyl is the material: the marble to sculpt the grooves that determines the sounds a turntable must produce to the speaker you plug in. The material is an essential part of a Record, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of an engraved Record. Vinyl is normally used with these grooves sculpted in: the whole Record is basically grooves with Vinyl as the base, or a Vinyl Record. All the so-called “Vinyls” are really albums of an LP Record.

     @Paradox @papush Vinyl/Record.
     
     In this case, with the context of audio playback, either vinyl or record will do, as anyone who knows anything about legacy audio actually knows what a vinyl record is, very much unlike the many people who don't know that Linux is only a kernel and that GNU exists.
