Both I-tunes and Amazon, are sourced by computer specialists and NOT Musical lovers or Musicians, Do not Belittle Everyone other than yourself for what a few Computer specialists provide to the masses !
Do not make the mistake of comparing Online Sources Of Music---- To Everyone worldwide, beside yourself !
Anyone that enjoys, Music Knows the difference, between a "Musical Piece" and a "Lowly song", just as much, or more than you Do, "Under Mars" !
(I will no longer be responding to this foolishness, Goodby !)

"Remove Songs from Amazon Music for Web
To remove songs from My Music:
Go to My Music.
Select Songs from the menu.
Check the box next to each song you want to remove.
Click the Delete button in the upper right corner of your screen and confirm your selection.
If you want to select multiple songs to delete at the same time:
Check the box next to the first song you want to delete.
Press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard.
Check the box next to the last song you want to delete.
This automatically highlights and selects all of the songs in between the two.
Tip: You can also use the other categories under My Music (Recently Added, Albums, Artists, Genres, Purchased, Imported) to find music you want to remove. The More Options menu ("three vertical dots" icon) next to individual songs includes a Remove from My Music selection.
Remove Songs from the Amazon Music App
To remove songs from My Music using Amazon Music for PC and Mac:
Find the song or album you want to delete.
Right click on the song or album, select Remove from My Music, and confirm."
The word "song" is used instead of track. Why? You might as well call every piece of music that Schubert wrote a "Lied". But we all know what is meant by Lied. It's a song, to be sung by the human voice, not a piece of instrumental music.
Or in iTunes the tracks are listed as songs, not tracks. So if I want to find the second movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata xxxx, I have to look through the list of "songs".
The same on Spotify:
"Create a playlist
Click New Playlist in the menu on the left.
Give your playlist a name (description and cover image optional) and click CREATE.
You can now find it in Your Library.
Add to playlists
Right-click any song and select Add to Playlist.
Select a playlist.
Tip: You can also drag and drop the track to a playlist.
Edit a playlist
To remove a song, go to the playlist and right-click the song you’d like to remove. Select Remove from this Playlist.
Note: You can only delete tracks from playlists you’ve created.
To reorder the track listing, click and hold a song to move it up or down."
Who came up with this barmy idea of calling all pieces of music a song?
Songs are songs. Tracks are tracks. Pieces are pieces. It is important that precision is observed in the use of language, just as in the world of technology and science.
How wonderful to have a music site like Contrebombarde which uses language correctly.
