True, but by calling it "track" it implies to me that it is a specific recording of a song or tune that is being judged, not the song or tune itself

Well it might mply that to you and I caanot say whewther you are correct or not. Only the mysterious people at Smooth Operations would be able to tell you.

I would have thought it said "track" so that first of all instrumental music and not just songs could be included and secondly so that a "tradtional" song/instrumental could be chosed from a CD which might include traditional and non-traditional material.
