A caption is a short text limited to 140 characters that you can include with your track when you post it to your followers. It’s a great way to bring attention to your track in their Feed. You can use the caption to share a few words about your track, thank your collaborators, or share your message with the world. On the other hand, the Track description, which is limited to 4000 characters, provides more detailed information about the track and is visible on the Track details page. It can be used to include song lyrics, list collaborators, or share a review of the track.
