All about soundtracks and music - tag merge request

Question

We have these two tags; music and soundtrack. Music's tag wiki states:

For questions relating to the soundtrack of a movie, use this tag for questions regarding the musical score or other music that appears in a movie.

Soundtrack's tag wiki states:

Questions related to sound and music recorded for a motion picture or television show.

These two tags are for the same thing. Would it be possible to merge music into soundtrack, or as an alternative, synonym music to soundtrack?

Doing a brief overview of both tags, I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be merged.

While I generally agree with the proposal, there might still be marginal questions e.g. about the usage of certain music as a symbol or plot-element and its impact on the story while the usage of the music is rather "in-movie" and might not be regarded soundtrack. But Ok, in this case music might not be justified either, being the specific type of movie-content, for which tags are discouraged anyway.

If the question is about the use of certain music as a plot element, this would still make up part of the soundtrack of the movie.
