track is used in the above example instead of *fn* or *audio-title*

I now believe that this should be FN

where Item only has a single property it can be used:

<span class="item fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</span>

of course you can do it like this,

<span class="item"><span class="fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</span></span>

but I dont really see the point?


If Item has sub properties such as duration 

it can be achieved like this

[snip]

<span class="item"><span class="fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</ 
span> – <abbr class="duration" title="P268T">4:46</abbr></span>
</span>

[/snip]

Item is being used as a composite

http://microformats.org/wiki/item#3._As_a_composite

not as a formatted name or title

No you are correct it isn't It needs changing.
