I usually use the term 'song' for rock music, and 'track' for dance music.
Are the 2 terms interchangable, or are they different in meaning? |

| Interchangable imo, but if you have to out them apart, then song means tracks with song dominating over the melodies. |

i don't like the term 'song'. i always say track, or tune.
technically a song would have to have lyrics |

I think it depends on your personal definition, at least around here. Ive always thought a track was a segment of a song in it's organization. Like you have a drum track, the you lay your bass track over it, then your....you get the point.
Ive used track to mean song as a whole though, so I guess its just up to you. If people know what you mean, who cares what word you use :D |

I call them "jams"
:P
My friend (this huge punk rocker), was like, "who the is Ferry Corsten, sounds like a fag", so he put the CD in, and skipped to that track Punk, and he was like "damn this is a in jam."
So from then on, I've called everything jams.

So whats a score?
If a song can be a track but a track might not be a song can a track be a score? |
From Dictionary.com
1. The notation of a musical work.
2. The written form of a composition for orchestral or vocal parts.
3. The music written for a film or a play.
A song without vocals is a track. |
