Please 2 persons had an argument about when to term a song "a sound track of a movie"

One said it can only be called "A SOUND TRACK of a movie" when/if that particular song is played in the movie.
That is when you watch a particular movie and yout hear that psrticular-song played at some point during the movie.


The other person said "as long as the song was licenced as a soundtrack amongst several other songs as a "compilation-sound track album". One can also call that particular song "A SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIE".
Meaning that song doesn't necessarily have to be played at some point during the movie.


So first person says "its only called a soundtrack of that movie if that song is eventually played in the movie".


Second person says "it doesn't have to be played at some point during the movie to be called a soundtrack of that movie"


Please those those that are enlightened here and also fair in English, Music , Movies and Entertainment should educate us.


Thank you.

Please Moderators, prof800, UjSizzle, Briareos we need your attention and assistance over here.

For all I know... Any music played in a movie is attributed to it as it's soundtrack

What about any music not played in the movie, but it was enlisted in an album that was titled "SOUNDTRACK ALBUM OF XYZ MOVIE"?
