The label "haudio" appears to be describing two distinct concepts here (1: album information, 2: individual track information), which I find confusing. That these two concepts share some properties, but that doesn't make them the same thing. I think there are two many layers of abstraction here. "haudio" should describe something specific, e.g. an audio recording, not a vague collection of metadata that could apply to a wide variety of things.

They're actually, IMO, almost entirely the same.

A classical recording is a good example -- unlike popular music, the tracks on the album are often merely segments of a larger whole, f.e. "Beethoven's Fifth" is comprised of four movements. All of the same information that can be applied to a "track" can be applied to an "album" or "playlist". They're really just divisions of a larger whole. The only information I could see an album of playlist needing that a track wouldn't would be: # of tracks and # of discs.
