"album", "summary", and "track", when combined with "haudio", are more
semantically accurate when describing audio albums. They add semantic
specificity to "haudio" which is needed to differentiate haudio that
describes an album, and an haudio that describes a track.

I believe that Colin (and I) are arguing against complicating halbum any
more than necessary:

halbum
	title
	contributor
	image-summary
	duration
	payment

Why should we do the above, when something much simpler would solve the
problem:

halbum
   summary
      haudio
