A TABLE would be okay actually, but there are better alternatives (see

If you are to use a ragged left (right flushed) style, you'd better
put the fixed length text on the right, and leave the variable song
name on the left:
song name: track, lyrics
long song name: track, lyrics
shortest song name: track, lyrics
and so on. For this you don't even need a table.
Note that the current transitional XHTML DIV soup does not validate.
Among other suggestions: use a list (UL or OL) to markup the tracklist
(in fact much better than a TABLE, IMHO), do not reuse the same id
several times, set a background color, ...
