The meaning that you have understood was not the intent of that text...
it needs to be clarified on the wiki.

I was attempting to state that if you want to use multiple tracks in one
hAudio, you should name the album. If you don't want to name the album
single hAudios should be used, for example:

<div class="haudio">
 <span class="fn album contributor">Celldweller</span> contains
 <span class="track">Switchback</span> and
 <span class="track">Symbiont</span>.
</div>

We don't want people doing the following:

 <div class="haudio">
  <span class="track">Switchback</span> and
  <span class="track">Symbiont</span>.
 </div>

The above should be marked up like this:

 Two songs that I like are
 <div class="haudio">
    <span class="fn">Switchback</span>
 </div>
 <div class="haudio"> and
    <span class="fn">Symbiont</span>.
 </div>
