Cosmetic: consider renaming CDPedia and DVDPedia

[audacious]

Both represent mostly past media, not that I do not have plenty of both in my collection and wish to keep them there. Just thinking - from a cosmetic perspective it might present more appropriately with names that reflect the current or broader nature of the collection (MusicPedia?, FilmPedia?). It might benefit you from a marketing perspective as well. A prospective customer might see DVDPedia and think they are looking at an older, possibly forgotten application when those of us using it know this to be anything but the case.

+1 for this suggestion.

DVD rental stores have gone the way of the dinosaurs. DVD's and CD's are slowly fading away from retails stockists, though vinyl is making a sort of come back. I know where I live where there used to be row upon row of discs at the two major outlets, they are now found in just one or two small rows and most are now in bargain bins.

I last bought a DVD in April 2018. In 2017 I bought 26. I had only rented 4 DVD's from our now defunct DVD rental store this year. I watch more streaming video now via Chromcast Ultra and even in little old New Zealand we have 12 geo centric streaming services (Netflix, Apple, Youtube, Prime etc and with Disney Plus arriving in November), without having to resort to a Geo unlock VPN service.

Three of these NZ service providers you can purchase and download the entire movie cheaper than a DVD or Blue-ray disc. It has been so long since I bought a CD I cann't remember. All my music comes from iTunes. These are all the legal means to acquire movies and music.

I am hanging out for an updated Apple TV device which is overdue for an update which hopefully will have a larger Hard Drive, 64Gb just will not accommodate today's High Definition, Ultra High Definition and 4k movie collections.

Renaming our iconic Pedia's to Musicpedia and Moviepedia is a great idea. I say Moviepedia as opposed to Filmpedia because Filmpedia invokes the days of when movies where on reels of film but even now that has gone as todays movie arrive in the projection booths in the form of a hard drive containing multiple video & sound formats and Moviepedia best describes today's delivery of these movies.

+1 from me as well.

Something we have been mulling over. Although I prefer Moviepedia and Albumpedia. This way they all start with a different letter. Also defines more of what CDpedia is actually organizing, as the items are bundled as albums and not single tracks, be it CD's, digital, or LPs.

I think MoviePedia and AlbumPedia would work. Although albums predate cds ... as FineWine indicated - the are making a bit of a comeback. That aside, the younger generation know and often use the term to describe an ... album(?). They rarely use 'cd'. In fact there are some that barely know what a cd is. Album is used even to describe a release seen on Apple Music, Spotify etc. In fact, I can't think of another word to use. MoviePedia would work and should be timeless. I guess the key is to select something that won't have you rethinking again in 5 years. These seem to fill the bill.
