Of the two, I'd prefer the latter method. What about using RECORDING?
This would allow us to re-use that class name in hVideo to denote the
name of a video recording. We can't use TRACK as that is the class name
we're using to denote the tracks in an album. That being said, would
something like this work?

hAudio Contents                  Type
---------------                  -----------
recording                        Audio Recording
recording + album                Audio Recording with Album info
album                            Album
toplist                          Top List
podcast                          Podcast

If we make TRACK a container object, then it must have the exact same
semantics as hAudio. If I understand you correctly, TRACK is no
different from HAUDIO in your proposal. Do we want to have two CLASS
names that have the exact same semantics, but different names?

The proposal was to use TRACK to denote individual tracks and HAUDIO to
contain all data represented in the track.

Thanks for catching that :)

Duration uses the ISO-8601 format for marking up durations. I've fixed
the audio-info-proposal, album-info-proposal, and audio-info-issues pages.
