album
'das Album' and 'die Playlist' are both collections of pieces of music. An 'Album' is usually a release by an artist or band and often has a fixed, coherent structure. A 'Playlist' is a list of songs or videos that someone puts together themselves or that a streaming service offers. It can mix many artists and can change easily. The words can be confused because both can be played digitally. 'Album' fits a release, while 'Playlist' fits a compiled playback list.
