Tape tracks might have been a term that was totally understandable to most people at some times in the past. Early on in my years of listening to and buying recorded music I started accumulating 8-track cartridges and the cassettes. It was all music recorded on tape that was made for the purpose of audio storage. If you wanted to refer to a certain song on the tape then you might refer to a "track" on that tape. Finding the track you wanted was often not all that simple. You had to fast forward or rewind until you got to the track you wanted. Hit or miss was the deal. I usually didn't have to deal with that since I'm kind of obsessive about listening to an album from start to finish. I'd read the listing of the tape tracks on the label, but rarely did I search for particular tracks. It's just the way I've tended to listen to music. I still do. When I listen to music, which is not as often as I used to do.
