Maybe audio-summary may be better?

Contributor is much better

some minor artists release their material (bootlegs and promos for
example musicians that release their own home brewed music on blogs etc)
before it is actually  published as any official release.

samples can be either clips or full versions. 
clips may be of single tracks, 
and samples may be one or more whole tracks from an album.

the rel-acquire is a link to buy as you would find at the itunes store
for example. not usually a download file.

why not indeed, Logo makes more sense to me. though there may be an
argument that an album image is a visual summary of the album.
