    Regarding the question, are you asking about a collection of music? Memorobilia? Concert videos?

    Just the albums themselves.

    What would you do with the albums there on the beach? Look at the
    cover art? Read the lyrics pages?

    I mean, if you're "stranded", would you have some kind of a player
    device? What about electric power? How exactly would you actually
    listen to these albums?

    You bring vinyl, and a fine needle and you gently run the needle between the grooves and listen very, very carefully and closely.

    Stranded doesn't have to mean being completely out of modern amenities. You could be on an island that used to be a research station and the
    radio transmitters have all been scuttled, yet there is a shack with operational
    battery bank charged by tidal or hydro power.

    And if you had electric, wouldn't you be trying to make contact with civilization so that you could become unstranted? :)

    How do you know the island is deserted and without power? For all we know wit
    this question, the island could be inhabited and have a small town or a resort
    r something. A hotel room with power might be available.

    Usually, stranded means not on purpose and somewhere that you cannot leave.
    If it is not deserted and without power, chances are you can leave.

    Now, if you are intentionally stranted in some tropical paradise where
    bringing all of your belongings is not practical... :)

    Maybe not. Maybe you want to be left alone for a while.

    Besides, having electricity does not mean having comms. Maybe you have enough tech on you to listen to your music collection but not to send a radio signal.

    I don't know about you, but I think the thought experiment is stetching beyond suspension of disbelief at such point...

    While you may be technically correct on the dictionary definition of "stranded",
    I think it's safe to say that 99% of people would agree with my interpretation when they hear "stranded on a beach".

    Exactly! Listening to "albums" while stranded is pretty low on my list
    of priorities. In fact, it's not *ON* the list. ;-)
