Album is a collection of music. Record is a vinyl record, an early way of recording music. A CD is a compact disc, like a record but optical and read with a laser.

An album is a casing containing a cd to play more than one song. A cd is a disc that plays songs of an artist. A record is a bigger disc than a cd and is used for record players to play music, however it is not digital like a cd.
