The former = a catalog of material - for example, the songs a band can play/keeps on their set list.

I feel weird about following Singer & Willmore on 𝑠𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 podcasts these days, but "Critical Darlings" is a good listen and "Filmspotting: SVU" isn't a show I thought likely to return, given the vastness of the "streaming movies/TV" topic by now.
