"Discography" (a created word, "disc" [a phonorecord] + "graphy"

the accumulation of written data that arose once us "crazy" folks
started trying to assemble the data concerning phonorecords which
had been issued...!

There will probably be a new term...

Or not..a collection of musical (or other) entities is still called an ALBUM, which is a term that originated over 85 years ago and was borrowed from "photo album" or any other bound collection of single pages or sleeves. Terminology can outlive its original description.
