You are not!!...

so why all the votes for adding these class names ?

sorry I vote for none :(

hAudio is the container class if we we make hAlbum redundant which I am
in strong favour of. 

haudio 
  haudio-title
  track
   media-title

I use haudio-title here to say that this is our main haudio title and we
have been forbidden talk about just *title* because of its conflicts
with the title attribute in hCard.
and media-title is a generic name for what we are trying to describe.

Personally I don't like the use of Track either when there already is
something that describes our need if we use *item* from the
item-brainstorming page.

haudio 
  haudio-title
item
  media-title

this coupled with the addition of a description, or note as Andy has
been in favour of 

haudio 
 haudio-title
  description
 item
   media-title

description can be reused from xFolk

and I would say we have got something worth shouting about.
