Oh, is that why there's a minute or so of silence after a song on that SHeDAISY CD?
Quite possibly. The usual pattern is that this happens on the last song on the disc, and there's a long silence, ending with *something*. (Sometimes a whole song, sometimes just random blather.) Newer records have occasionally fiddled with that pattern randomly, for no obvious reason. (Not that it makes much sense to begin with.)
And what's an LP?
... Okay, this is one of those questions where I'm afraid you provoke a reaction of "you make me feel so *old*" among your friends. It's a reasonable question, but a bit startling, because it had never occurred to me that the term has fallen out of common parlance.
"LP" is short for "Long Playing" -- it's the standard shorthand, used for decades, for full-sized vinyl records. I still own a few hundred of them, although they are rarely played any more...
