singlerecord

Singlerecord, often written as singlerecord or SingleRecord, is not a single, universal concept. It is a compound term used in multiple domains to indicate something that comprises a single record or track.

In music publishing, a single release is commonly called a single or a record. Some contexts refer to such releases as singlerecords, emphasizing that the item contains one main track, sometimes accompanied by a B-side or remix. Formats have included vinyl 7-inch discs, compact discs, and digital downloads.

In data management and computing, singlerecord can describe a data structure or file unit that stores exactly one record. This usage appears in flat-file databases, simple log formats, or APIs that expose a single data object. The term underscores atomicity and simplicity in data organization.

The name has also been adopted by various software projects, startups, or products as a brand token for simplicity or single-record operations. Because there is no central authority tying the term to a single product, references depend on the source and context.
