Like "agenda"?  It doesn't matter whether it was plural in Latin; it
only matters how it behaves in modern English.  But as it happens, the
patch doesn't use "media" to refer to a singular CD - it uses "some
media" and "an item of media", the way English-speakers normally do.

(There's a different sense of "media" that *is* colloquially used as a
singular: "the Meejuh is full of fake news".  But that has nothing to
do with CDs.)
