Oh, dear.  I raised this question long ago, and received a near-unanimous 
response, as I recall, that it was still OK to refer to CDs as "albums" 
(keeping in mind, of course, that "album" was already an obsolete term for 
an LP--since it originated when multiple 78s [of symphonies, or songs by a 
particular singer, etc.] were released in *real* "albums"--similar to 
photograph albums).

Is this still the consensus?

Thanks, and for folks' answers to "on/in".
