Another thing that bugs me is when music is referred to as tracks or songs even when it's part of a symphony. I've just looked up a disc of Beethoven symphonies on Amazon and you can preview all songs. So where are the words?

There used to be a children's programme on Radio 3 where all the items were referred to as tracks even when there were live performers!
Me thinks susie (with a small s) needs to look for a more eyebrow site than Accyweb
