Track
A track may refer to any of the following:
1. With an audio CD (compact disc) or digital album, a track is a CD section containing a single full song. Tracks allow the person listening to the album to skip to the beginning of any song at any time. The picture shows the skip track button found in programs and on remotes.
When listening to MP3 files or songs online, you're dealing with files, not tracks. Track buttons are still used, but go to the previous or next song or video file. The term "track" is only used when dealing with physical media like a compact disc.
2. Online tracking refers to a website or company that tracks the pages you visit, searches you perform, and other activities to improve their services or sell to other companies.
