The issue that you raise can be easily fixed though, by for example using different pluralization methods for albums and songs, and read the appropriate strings from a localization file. Perhaps this might be something that you want to implement yourself? Could be an interesting follow-up to this question. | |

But if you do, there are languages for it is not enough to use a single plural. For example, in Czech, the plural form for 2 is different than the one for 5.
