When you download a collection of songs, do you try to call it a CD?
'sigh. If the content is the same, how are they not the same?

I don't say " I just read this wonderful "data" by XXX......nor do I say "I just read this wonderful "e-book" by XXX......I say "I just read this wonderful "book" by XXX.........

Its a book, not data.

And I don't download music at all.

If I did, I'd call it 'music'.
