Neither YOU or I would markup hAudio like that?

...listening to
 <div class="haudio">
  <div class="item">
        <span class="media-title">May the Rain</span>
  </div>
 found on <span class="haudio-title">Paper Tigers</span>
</div>
by...

*Item* works here as a root class on its own and is used as a semantic
finger pointing out the interesting or important parts...

I am also suggesting parts that can be reused in other media related
uF's, item and media-title.

Also its worth adding at this point that hReview has a similar type
mechanism that works in a similar way pointing out items in a review

hItem technically I would say already exists as a uF on its own wouldn't
you?

...how do you summarise section?
