Why would you say that? It's just a legacy of physical distribution media. You'd just download it and refer to the work instead. People already refer to downloading <band>'s "latest", or it having "leaked", or whatever. Terms like "single", "B-side", "EP", and "album" are already "virtualised". Are you bothered that web "pages" are not pieces of paper?

I would agree with him though that it does sound a bit strange because we not only say "album" and "EP" but we also refer to CD's and records or vinyls.  A flash drive or "usb stick" is a far cry from the ultra thin cylinders we've come to know and love.  Not to say it wouldn't be effective, but in a cursory glance it would be easy to scoff at the idea.

I really should stop joking around so much I guess.

My impression was just the opposite.  The consoles may look custom and unique, but inside, the audio systems are standard DIN.  You pick up a Crutchfield catalog, and they can match a third-party system to like 98% of the cars out there, and they'll all fit into a DIN chassis.
