The goal of this use case is to provide the user with a comprehensive view of a specific musical release, including its tracklist and available physical formats. By selecting a specific album or single, the user can see in-depth information such as song durations and specific product attributes like price and stock before deciding to add an item to their cart or wishlist.

Scenario
