Record collections are collections of physical or digital media, such as vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, and digital FILES. They can be organized in a variety of ways, such as alphabetically, chronologically, or by genre. Record collections can also be stored in FILES or databases, which are systems that store and organize data. FILES are collections of related information, such as documents, images, or audio recordings, while databases are structured collections of data that can be searched and manipulated.
