Abstract
A virtual or digital multimedia album. The digital album may include a collection of related media to provide virtually, what a traditional band album provides, and more. The digital album may include a set of digital audio files that replicate or substantially resemble the set of tracks found on a traditional album. Additional media, such as videos, lyric text, other text, images, and user-imported content may all be included in the digital album. The content initially provided with the digital album may be exclusively oriented to a single artist or music group. In this way, the digital album can create a much greater immersion into the themed music than a mere collection of digital audio files can provide.
