curious - do you know how many of these are used to mean "track," as in CD track? i know pista (castellano) and piste are- and i'm pretty sure Spur is as well.

Spur isn't used for CD track, we say Titel for that.

maybe it's another language or something completely different

I guess that's Tonspur as in "audio track with a single instrument on it during the recording process of a song". So Spur 1, Spur 2 etc. are meant to be played simultaneously. Apparently some audio engineers forgot to turn off their last.fm plugins.

Cén cineál 'trail' atá i gceist agat? Más é an cineál ar a siúlfadh duine nó ainmhí, is é cosánconair an focal atá uait. 'Stump' nó 'stem' amháin is brí le lorga go bhfios dom, ach d'fhéadfá lorg (gan 'a') nó rian a úsáid go teibí chun 'track/mark' a chur in iúl ar an mbealach seo a leanas mar shampla: "tá lorg/rian an Bhéarla ar a chuid Gaeilge"

Pista

Of course autopista is a highway, motorway, or turnpike. And pista can also refer to a racecourse. Just a plain (paved) road is a carretera. Ruben says that a camino connotes an unpaved or "unimproved" road. So some might think that is a trail. Also sendero is used for trail, as in "hiking trail", more narrow and rugged than a camino.

Chuck, it can all be so confusing
