So why then is it tracklisting and not songlisting? Huh? Huh? Answer that, smart guy!

Nah, there's nothing wrong with saying tracks at all. "This track coming up is great", "How many tracks on an album?" etc. That all goes back to the divisions on a vinyl LP where you could actually SEE the division on the record and so each of those was a track, on a disc, and so every song is a track. I'm not mad about "cuts", to be honest, but I guess it's the same thing. 'sides, you can't keep saying song all the time, it gets boring and repeitive. It also gets boring and repetitive.

I think you need to be older (like me) to appreciate how much tracks were used to identify songs on albums back when I were knee high to a Fender Strat...

DAMN YOU YOUNG PEOPLE!!!!
