The former indicates the album is the same as the audio (because they  
have the same name), whereas the latter may just be an album related  
to the audio.  This allows publishers to focus primarily on individual  
songs or on albums as they do naturally.

That adds an extra layer of container where none really exists.  Item  
of what?  We're only talking about a single song here, so why can't a  
publisher just focus on that song without wrapping a container around  
it?  Not every song even belongs to an album, so it's not just unknown  
albums this would be forcing publishers to markup; it's also non- 
existent albums.
